Re: Unknown fly
Thanks for ID Paul still getting used to the site, is your observation based on the coloration and patterning or a particular set of bristles somewhere?

Re: Unknown fly
G. minor is indeed quite similar ; it differs by having a small ad seta on mid tibia (in both sexes), the abdomen is more elongated and its orange area less extended in males. It is a scarser species.
