OK thanks Niels. That was one of my other "possible" IDs on this, but I don't have keys to know what to look for... Maybe an expert will chime in! Nick |

Hi! Nielsyese wrote: Looks like Phaonia rufiventris ??? That species looks totally different, has an orange red scutellum and abdomen: http://www.dipter...to_id=2588 Could be Helina impuncta perhaps, but I am no expert, too.

Thanks Juergen for the new suggestion, I'll find some photos of H. impuncta to compare my fly with, and maybe a muscid expert will help as well! Nck |

Ok many thanks all. It does seem a very good match with H.impuncta photos in the gallery and it seems to be a common UK species. Nick |
