It is a female, so i don't have to tell more.. .....But, comparing with my flies, it could be the common Botanophila fugax, but i like to see all the characteristic marks... B.fugax female has one pair of strong presutural acrostichals (as long as prealar)....not clear visible on your photos, ....and a strong row of "ad" on midfemur and two long av in middle... There are more rows of hairs on occiput and strong and long ad + 2pd+2pv.....so Botanophila seems right. Surtain Anthomyiidae Almost surtain Botanophila Unsurtain B.fugax Joke  |

Thank you Joke, I had a closer look at the side view and cropped off the mid femur. I have lightened the pic and I think it shows a strong row of ad. Is this enough?
