Oh, yes you are right, and the name latipes says it all :). The tarsae are very conspicuous. After seeing Fungomyza, I stopped looking critically at it, as I didn't expect such a similar fly, also coming to mushroom traps, in another family. I wonder if these similarities constitute some sort of mimicry?

Btw, the other flies caught were all Drosophila testacea.

Cheers!
