Pegomya female. Unfortunately the characters to ID it to species are not visible

Hello, Michael .

I have already several identifications, as Anthomyiidae> Pegomya.
That details of these flies, would be taken into the picture, to go further in their identification.?

Very grateful for your help.

The problem with photos of anthomyiids is that generally with a live fly on a substrate (trunk, board, leaf), the photo is taken from above at an angle or obliquely. If you had a pinned fly you could take the photo from below, front, side etc. A photo of the ventral aspect of the abdomen of an anthomyiid (especially a male) would make ID easier. The male sternite V is generally characteristic for many species.

Anthomyiid flies are especially difficult to recognise from their general fascies, and enlarged details of leg setae, pleural setae, scutal setae, aristal length eyc are important.

Very grateful for your detailed information.
Although, I am basically an amateur photographer of insects in general, and from my photographic hobby I've also become fond of knowledge of the Diptera, as far as in my power, I will try to follow his advice to try to get anthomyiids identifiable photos.
The first step, I think this family is recognized in the field. So I hope to get it. TumbsUp

Thanks for everything.
Best regards, from southern Spain.
