Muscid Fly

DateWed 2012-10-03

A female Hydrotaea diabolus (Diptera: Muscidae).  Identification confirmed by Stephane Lebrun at Diptera.info.  Presumably named diabolus because of its distinctive blackness.

Note the long backward-pointing hair on the hind tibia.  It is best shown in the following photo.

Photos taken in Chazey Wood, near Caversham, UK, on 2012-09-30.
