I beat this fly from Beech Fagus sylvatica today in N Scotland. A suggestion of its identity would be very welcome.

A few images follow. Length was 4.5mm.

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks, Eric. That looks very probable. Not a family I have engaged with before.

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
