No, it is not. Cacoxenus indagator has whitish halters and this specimen has black ones. Moreover, there are several strong vibirssa like setae (not in Cacoxenus) and only two strong orbital setae are visble (rather than three as in Drosophilidae). I received the specomen and it is very likely a female of Milichia pubescens.

I agree with Paul that this is a Milichia female. I can't tell which species.

Do you have a workable key to the species of the genus?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
