Nostima? - Nostima picta

Moved

Moved from Hyadina. Looks just like other N. picta I have. I should have noticed this earlier.

Species characters

Species characters in Hyadina are

Color of crossveins (dark here)
Presence or absence of outer vertical bristles (inner always large and convergent)
Scutellum with or without "dense black, velvety patch" laterally (if without, then with coppery pruinosity)
R2+3 with or without appendix (absent in photo)

late follow-up

dark crossveins, inner & outer verticals present, R2+3 without apical appendix, scutellum is entirely velvety black except for a small sliver on each side that is silverish white

I feel like this may not be Hyadina.

Actually I can see the white crossveins only when viewing against a dark background.

Moved

Moved from Shore Flies.

Tony Irwin on Diptera.info: "Not absolutely certain - but this looks more like Hyadina to me."

I checked it against the key in MoND (1) and I end up there too.
