Hello, this 5-6mm fly is from july in the austrian alps. My guess for the family was Muscidae, and the most similar species I found in the gallery was Thricops nigrifrons. The picture is not the best, but can anything be said about this fly? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [50.96Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 07-02-2009 14:03 |

It could be Thricops cunctans (I think I can guess the typical inner apical spur on hind tibia). No other picture ? No certitude for the moment, could be even another genus. Stephane. |

Hello, this is the only other picture I have. The hind legs are a little bit better visible, but still not very well. Is there the spur? I can't see it. Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [79.49Kb] |

OK, the former hidden part of hind tibia chaetotxy is now visible (2 lond pd, dense ventral hairs) and leave no doubt that it is Thricops cunctans.
