Hi,
can anyone help me identify these small fly?
I took the photo on 30.6.2007 Kokkola, Finland.
The plant is Utricularia vulgaris (common bladderwort)

Brachyopini, looks quite like Chrysosyrphus.

It might be Orthonevra as well. Your picture isn't that good to decide this.

It's a male orthonevra sp. Not to say what species...
