Moscow region, 22 june, 7,5mm, common this week. It seems to me that I've seen this fly at Diptera yet. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [66.24Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Are those apical scutellar bristles pointing upwards? If so it could be Meigenia sp. |

Yes, Chris, there are. So, you mean that I've seen this fly at my own photo last week? So, I have to drink something to improve memory? But at minimum this fly - another species? Eyes bare, yellow grey dust - Meigenia pilosa? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Ahhh, I'm not sure which Meigenia sp. - we don't have pilosa here so I am not familiar with that one  Lets save that one for Theo  |

Looks interesting. The appendix to the bend in vein M and the strong bristles descending on parafacialia suggest Exorista. But somehow it does not ring a bell. Theo Zeegers |
