After recent ID of Pegomia and even more recent Theo's brilliant ID of Brachycoma devia, why not try this fly? Moscow region, 08 june, 6-8mm. I think Anthomyiidae. With yellow abdomen. Pretty, my test. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [74.84Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thricops semicinereus (Muscidae). Most flies of this genus have an unusually anthomyiid- or fannid-like build for muscids. Males are easily identified by the conican, non-flattened abdomen being yellow with a black 5th tergite. F. canicularis is somewhat similar but it has a flattened abdomen and black 4.-5. tergite. There's also a fundamental difference in habitat preference between these species: F. canicularis is found near farms and human dwellings, T. semicinereus is mainly a forest species.

I thought the markings were too bright (contrary to my wits  ).Kahis wrote: [There's also a fundamental difference in habitat preference between these species: F. canicularis is found near farms and human dwellings, T. semicinereus is mainly a forest species. unfortunately, habitat was not mentioned...

1. Thank you very much Paul and Kahis! Tomorrow I'll check it all on collected fly. 2. So, in future I'll send some more fly like this. 3. I strongly dislike the situation when after a year of learning Diptera I have to reply on my daughter question "It is some Muscidae/Anthomyiidae darling". The most visible flies are less known  Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
