All the right Jizz (see Glossary) for Fannia and dorsoventrally flattened abdomen (dorsum etc. also Glossary) -compare abdomen with the conical abdomen of Thricops (Gallery Muscidae) Anal vein correct; hemispherical head ; and so I think I can see exactly dorsal bristle on below middle ie in apical (distal) half of hind tibia. The small size, glossy black body/legs with nothing special about the middle tibia
(it is a male I think please confirm) (mid tibiae are bristle ornamented and odd shapes in some species point to serena (Fallen, 1825) A common species but don't let this influence you when using the key or we will never find rare flies) Don't hold me to it but 80% sure Fannia serena. Heavy pin by the waySad and possibly too central) see mounting link Glossary GrinGrin Minuten pin to left or right side Don't be cross You should see some of my photos Robert
