This fly has me baffled. I first thought it was a Sepsidae, but now I just cannot decide what it is. Can anyone suggest a family please. Length 5mm. 20 June 2008. UK. Apologies for poor photo, hopefully it is enough to say what family? conopid attached the following image:  [26.39Kb] Edited by conopid on 17-03-2009 14:28 Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Why Acalypterata? It is Muscidae, genus Coenosia. The fact that lower calypter is visible and well developed (  ) helps us to exclude C.mollicula.I think C. testacea/infantula is most probable answer. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nikita, Thanks. No wonder I could not decide what it was, I was way off-track!
