Elachiptera

Submitted by mjwoods on

Can anyone help with this which I believe is Elachiptera bimaculata. Photographed near Canterbury 2018 (also similar in 2017.) Thank you.

Thanks Tony, I am familiar with the diptera.info discussion and others and you're probably right about it being austriaca however I cling hopefully to the pair of orbital bristles.  I have emailed John and Barbara Ismay so I hope they will be able to shed some light...
