Hi, This is my last dead fly for this year, and it looks pretty battered, as spider victims do. However, I like its head with the long setae and the feather-like branched aristae. As to colour, abdominal pattern, and leg hairs I am inclined to call this fly a Drosophila. Are there any serious objections? Regards, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [175.71Kb] |

This is CERTAINLY a Drosophila. But I am too lazy to see where does it run in Baechli-Burla's key (Insecta Helvetica), and some important characters are not shown. IMHO, it is neither D. melanogaster, nor D. funebris , which are commonest where fruits or rotten potatoes are.
