Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Drosophilidae for ID please

Bred from rotting Honey Fungus (Armillaria) collected from base of young tree in park, Ipswich, Suffolk on 29-Sept-2014. Adult found on 21-Oct-2014.

I thought female Drosophila picta or Hirtodrosophila cameraria. The specimen is quite dehydrated so I am posting these photos before trying to wet it (as that usually ruins my flies!).

Is it possible to determine the sex and species from these photos, please?

Best wishes,
Martin
