Dear all,

Is this a fly and if so, does anyone know which one?

Thanks.

Hi,

This is a Ptychoptera spec [Diptera: Nematocera: Ptychopteridae]. I think it should be possible to give a species name, but I don't know it by heart. Once it is identified to species level, it would be a nice addition for the Diptera Gallery.

Dear Jan Willem,

Thank you for half ID Wink

And Paul is free to put a picture in the Diptera gallery, or can I do this myself?

I found this Ptychoptera in a Brussels wetland the 10th september 2006. In the Soortenbank Nederland I found that the pale metatars is typical for Ptychoptera albimana. Is it ?
