This fly is interesting, If would by and large fit Pherbellia nana, save for the seemingly unpatterned wing.

The fly was truly small for a Sciomyzid.

Some more images: https://www.inatu...s/91450996

Or maybe something different after all.

You'd better change Sciomyzidae to Acalyptratae

Heleomyzidae, Trixoscelidinae, Trixoscelis spec; note the yellow fore coxae and the wing pattern. The spinules between the costal setulae are outside the photographic focus.

I tried to key this out using Fauna Hungariae, but could not really find anything matching.

Hello people,

The yellow for coxae and wing pattern are also found in Sciomyzidae like Pherbellia. The dusting on the margings of the terga are typical of Pherbellia. Trixoscelis have the entire abdomen grey dusted. The missing of any large orbitals also suggests Pherbellia. Probably something like a P. griseola.

Kind regards,
Ectemnius

After consultation with Christian Kassebeer I agree with the identification as Pherbellia ?nana. Michael von Tschirnhaus
