Hi,

saw this little fly (ca 6-8 mm in length) yesterday (2013, March 11th) close to Las Tricias, Canary Islands, La Palma. Any idea, which family, genus, species it belongs to?

Thanks a lot,

Marc

Tony, thanks for your quick reply! To be honest: Calliphoridae wouldn't have been my first choice...
