Hello!

Very nice flies, but very difficult to photograph these only 2.5-3 mm small Hybotids running permanently around at the trunks of trees in our garden last night (Ostwestfalen/Germany). So sorry for the bad pic quality. Could these be Tachydromia arrogans? Thanks in advance!

Tachydromia.
Could be T.umbrarum, could be another Tachydromia (T.arrogans has yellowish legs as far as I know)

Leg colour suggests umbrarum rather than arrogans or aemula:- but there are similar rarer species

Hello, Nikita and Adrian!

Many thanks! Then I'll save it with a 'cf.'.
