It seems to me that anal vein reach to margin of wing, calypters are the same size - so it's Anthomyiid. But I have no idea about closer id. 23.09.2007, northern Poland, size ~5 mm.

All Emmesomyia species have a seta just below the wing base, but of course it does not usually show up in photos. The last photo shows the swollen abdomen, with the sclerotized tergites looking rather small because of the swollen membrane; it is a pregnant female, possibly with 1st instar larvae, as Emmesomyia have oviviporous larvae. The darker shining tergite 6 is clearly visible, a characteristic of Emmesomyia, and provide a distinction between the two European species in the female, grisea with completely shining, socia with some grey dusting. |
