hi flyforum,

This fly 'looks a bit' like Phaonia fuscata, but I have doubts..

The room betwen the eyes is small.
The 'smokey' R-M is a small stripe of smoke..
I don't see the stripes on the abdomen which P. fuscata got.

Legs are long and the abdomen elongated.

IS it Musca sp.?

On the midtibia I count 4 bristlehairs.

Hi Robert,
this is not Phaonia fuscata, which male has broader frons and more infuscated crossveins. This could be a male of Phaonia palpata with these elongated but hair-like presutural acrostichals and bicolour legs, but I can't be sure without seeing many other details like prealar length etc.
