What can you tell me about this rather fine black fly, about 6 mm long or perhaps a bit more, photographed yesterday on a river bank near Rome.

I can't find R4,5 forking. Rhamphomyia than?

The fork is there, you have to look better. Hilara of the Empididae.

Thanks to Nikita and Paul. It's good to be back finding something worth posting after a very long wet winter here, Sarah
