Hi all,

Going by the wing venation, I think this is Phasia sp. Is it the case, and if so, which one ?
Corroy le grand (Belgium) August 21st 2007
10 mm approx.

TIA
Philippe

Phasia obesa - male Smile The reasons being: quite small, mainly black with grey dusting on the anterior parts of the thorax; and male because of those classic 'male Phasia' wings Smile

Thanks Chris. Must have been my lucky day, I am so often wrong on flies, that getting even the genus right is a wow.
