It looks weird and the host is a clear indication for Pseudolynchia canariensis. So search for Pseudolynchia and Ornithomyia in this forum and draw your conclusions. Theo |

Thanks Theo ! It looks much more to a Pseudolynchia than Ornithomyia ! When i search more on Pseudolynchia, it seem very difficult to make difference between P. garzettae and P. canariensis... So i will stand on Pseudolynchia sp...  Stephan |

Well, that is actually VERY easy: canariensis is restricted to pigeons, garzettae to Owls and Nightjars in the end, they might prove synonynous.... Theo |
