Hi,

I have photographed this beautiful pair of green eyes yesterday on a forest pond's edge. I have not been able to take a photo from the side nor the upperside.
Loc. 20 km West of Paris. On aquatic plant.
About 6-7mm long.
Any idea on the identity (or family) of the owner of these green eyes?
I know that not much can be seen ...
Thanks,

FRV

I think subfamily Dolichopodinae.

Thank you John ... not easy task to identify a fly from a face view!
