Hello,

www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos364/big/5du16988.jpg
Pierre Duhem : France : Autun : 71400 : 14/06/2025
Altitude : 554 m - Taille : 7-8 mm
Réf. : 364170

This male probably has a long history behind him (see the wings, see the almost absent pruinosity).
I also note the reddish tibiae on all three legs, but the femora are black.
Does this ring a bell for some of you?
Thanks in advance.
Pierre Duhem

Looks like it possess (originally possessed) three pairs of postsutural dorsocentrals. I am rather for Anthomyiidae.
