Can anyone say what this Muscid might be: seems quite similar to Hebecnema nigra, but has maybe too much white on the thorax. Maybe more like H. umbratica? c 7mm Wiltshire garden, UK 3.5.2010 nick upton attached the following image:  [188.35Kb] Edited by nick upton on 23-06-2010 21:28 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

I think the other one....Hylemya nigrimana (i can see a small third pd on hindtibia, lower calypter seems not projecting beyond upper one, no strong setaea on midtibia ...) Do you have another photo, where the setae on the hindtibia is better visible..? Joke Edited by javanerkelens on 23-06-2010 17:36 |

Many thanks all for the feedback and suggestions. Here is one more shot with maybe a better view of the hind tibia, though at an odd angle as it grooms.
