 Well, it has hairy eyes, which B.aurulenta doesn't have so that's that one ruled out Wink

Looks a bit more like a Phryxe sp. to me but Theo might have other ideas Smile

 Assuming that it is Phryxe then nemea would be my guess ... but we can't see much from the photo so it's a bit of an educated guess Wink

 Might very well be a Phryxe, in which case it is not nemea but more likely vulgaris, given the wing venation and the reddish colouration on the scutellum.

Phryxe is common and Bactromyia pretty rare, so starting hypothesis should always be Phryxe.

 Thank you Theo, I had noticed the colouring on the scutellum but I don't have the knowledge nor keys. The general colouring was confusing also.

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
