hi flyforum,

I think it's Lonchoptera, and it looks a male to me..
What kind of Lonchoptera-sp?
Is it Lonchoptera tristis (Meigen, 1824)?

place: Amsterdam forest, on bridge over water
date: 6-01-2008
size: 5mm

lunch: birdshit?

High quality photos!
I'd say Lonchoptera lutea

Agreed: L. lutea

Very nice photos indeed!! And I agree with Nikita and Kahis: Lonchoptera lutea male.
