11/09/2010, my garden, Kapellen, Belgium. Lauxaniidae (or perhaps Anthomyiidae) I think, but is further ID possible? I kept the specimen, so additional pictures could be made up if necessary. Thanks in advance!

Because I can see it is an calypterate, and the lauxaniidae are acalypterate

Indeed Anthomyiidae
Botanophila or Delia species...
Also a female , so will be very difficult to go further on it...

Thanks a lot, Ruud and Joke. So no species ID, but can I provide a bit of information that would give away the genus?

Can you give me close shot of the occiput or can you tell me if on the top of the occiput there is one row of stronger hairs and no rows of hairs directly below them (mostly bare in the mid, at the sides maybe there can be also some stronger hairs)
Or are there several rows of hairs belowe the first row of hairs on top....

I tried to make a closer shot, but quality is bad. Sufficient?

It is a Delia!

No further to go...Wink
