looking at the gallery, Empis pennipes sounds good to me : more advice ... ?

Trouble is, there doesn't appear to be a fork in R4+5. What about this http://www.dipter...ad_id=5823?

NO fork = Rhamphomyia, that's why Kahis got to that conclusion.
What's the problem ?

That's what I meant - that it cannot be E pennipes, and must be Rhamphomyia.

There are a few like that. Dunno which one this might be yet.
