Muscidae. Helina female. Possibly depuncta, but I haven't got access to reference material to check this at the moment. Perhaps Kahis can confirm or reject this?

Do you think your grey fly and my grey fly are the same? http://www.dipter...ad_id=2304 Susan |

Hi Susan Apart from yours being a male, and a bit out of focus ( ), there is a significant difference in that yours has 4 rather than 3 post-sutural dorsocentrals. I'd say it was a muscid and probably Phaoniinae and possibly Helina, but I wouldn't like to say more than that.

Blast and [insert swearword of choice here]  - stuff I should remember to do every time. If Kahis's figures are right and it takes 10K specimens to get to grips with diptera, I calculate it's going to take me about 20 years at my current rate.  Thanks Tony - I'll get there eventually, especially with the fab forum's help.

Helina, possibly depuncta is the best I can do. H. depuncta is usually rather yellowish, but not always.
