Tiny fly in an orange grove. Very dark, but it looks like Drosophilidae to me.

¡Saludos!

With both crossveins darkened, it is probably an unusually dark specimen of some species of Drosophila quinaria group - e. g. D. phalerata seems to be a good candidate. Colour pattern of abdominal tergites, a good specific character, is unfortunately obscuired in the picture.

Thanks again, Jan!

Happy to have the family right.
There was no way to photograph the abdomen, too nervous. Angry

In another photo I can discern the color pattern of the abdomen.

Now we can judge for D. phalerata with greater probability, although other species are not quite excluded (D. kuntzei, D. histrio or D. curvispina, which is however unknown from Spain).

Perfect, Jan! Probable Drosophila phalerata is much more than I hoped for. TumbsUp

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
