Thanks Nikita, a good news.
Since the time I've been learning flies, I hadn't yet explored seasides. Shame upon me !

Me too (or only hot seashores). I'm often thinking about several days I spend in Cancal 4 years ago Angry I could collect a hell lot of flies which are rare in Russia...

Well done, Stephane - a new family for the gallery, but not Helcomyzidae! Pfft
This is Coelopidae, probably Coelopa pilipes. Helcomyza is not so flattened, is greyer, has a darkened cross-vein and spines on the costa. Keep looking on the seaweed, though - you will find it! Wink

Thanks Jens-Hermann. Now I know what I have to look for ! And indeed, it's very different from Coelopa ! A Nice species too.

Greetings.
