I'm sorry for posting 6 photos in this thread, but I'm a little confused. While I was photographing these flies, at first I thought I was photographing only one species. Now, after getting home, it feels like they're different species (maybe 2 or 3?). Can you help me, please? All the photos were taken in the same spot. location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 07/05/2008 1  2  3  4  5  6  |

Well, no different species, different sexes ! Males and females. Third one is female. Females cannot be identified (with a few exceptions) and males are difficult. As far as I can tell, this is either M. argyrocephala or just maybe M. tshernovae. Theo |

I didn't even thought they could be female and male. Thank you very much for your help Theo . |
