I may be shooting myself in the foot, but I believe that is a Calliphorid... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

It well may be Muscidae. For example, I add my photo of Eydasyphora cyanicolor (Muscidae), from Sochi region, Black Sea, end of March. My fly was collected and than ID. But with photos only (both yours and mine) difficult to be sure what is it. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [59.78Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thank you, Totipotent and Nikita Nikita's photo seems to be very similar to mine. I'll try to survive to that uncertainty  Christophe |

Hi Christophe, yesterday I spend couple hours Moscow park with Flies and K. I have seen in mass Protophormia terraenovae, Calliphoridae (in Russian - First spring Fly). This may be second possible (and more probable) answer on your this thread. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [82.79Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thank you Nikita for that second hypothesis. It seems that the both species should be found in SE France where I live. Is Eydasyphora cyanicolor a synonym of Dasyphora cyanella? Next time, I'll try to pic the wings from above  |

As far as I could check now, both are species of Eudasyphora and separate species. E. cyanicolor is supposedly 'subalpine'.

ok Paul, thank you for these precise details... So, if "cyanicolor is actually subalpine, it cannot be the one that I saw : the "summit" of the countryside around my house is about 400 m high!  Christophe |
