 Yesterday I watched a medium sized grey fly (with quite silvery frons and parafacia) closely following a bee Andrena barbilabris, It shadowed the bee very closely, the way some Sarcophagidae do. I have taken the specimen and it is clearly an Anthomyidae. Can anyone advise what genus this might be?

 Many thanks Stephan, that certainly looks like the fly in question.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
