Hi, could someone please tell me, if this fly belongs to Hydrophoria or another family? To me it looks like H. linogrisea, but I guess there are many similar species I haven't seen yet... Found on a lilly in a flower bed, next to a wild meadow near a forest in Mohrkirch, Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany- 2014-09-29, 12 a.m. Kind regards, Lennart Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [93.1Kb] Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 29-12-2014 21:37 |

Hydrophoria species all have the arista long haired and this is not visible on your photos. Also H. linogrisea has all legs yellowish/orange coloured and they are black on your photos. I only can say…..it is indeed Anthomyiidae, but nothing more. (for a proper ID on Anthomyiidae, we need larg, sharp photos, with as many as possible different views from all sites, so we can see more details) Johanna Edited by javanerkelens on 28-12-2014 23:54 |

Thank you, Johanna, for the correction. Unfortunately, when I took all those pictures I had no idea of how difficult it would be to identify the species...because I didn't know anything at all about dipterans, but luckily I'm an adaptive being ;-) Best regards, Lennart |

You will learn in time! Just...keep going and take lots of nice photos. Anthomyiidae just is not an easy family to ID from photos. Johanna
