Tiny green fly - Condylostylus nigrofemoratus - male

Tiny green fly - Condylostylus nigrofemoratus - Male
Niagara, Ontario, Canada
August 21, 2010
This and a copper coloured one that was too quick for me to photograph were on Jerusalem Artichoke leaves. Very active! I'm thinking Dolichopodidae ?

Moved
Moved from caudatus group.

Revised ID
I see dense bristles on mid basitarsus. That rules out my earlier guess. Likely Condylostylus nigrofemoratus if the last segment of the hid tarsus is normal or C. connectans if it is widened.

Moved
Moved from Condylostylus.

Moved
Moved from Sciapodinae. Possibly Condylostylus inermis (Loew).

Moved
Moved from Longlegged Flies.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.
