Today I photographed two different flies near our house at at Leerdam, Netherlands. I believe they are both Muscina, but of different species.
I think the one on the first photo must be M. levida: all dark, except for the orange tip to the scutellum.
The one on the second and third photo I think must be M. prolapsa.

Could anyone confirm or correct my identifications? Thanks in advance!

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
