Hello!

I don't know, where to put this one :(. Coloured like some Tephrochlamys from Heleomyzidae or Pegomya from Anthomyiidae, size of a "normal" Scatophaga (8-9 mm), with dark antennae, but apparently no S. stercoraria... What is it??
(Yesterday at tree in garden, Ostwestfalen/Germany).

Hello, Kahis!

Thanks for your reply!

Hmm... There were (and are - 12 ?C today) many Phaonia subventa around there, but this one was smaller and looked different (other wing posture (more Scatophagid like), longer and more spiny legs), so I thought it must have been a Scatophagid...
Best regards,
Jürgen
