Hello,

I made this pictures on 10-09-2006 at Apeldoorn, Netherlands. In a area with wet grasslands near the river IJssel. Size of the fly 8-10 mm. I hope anyone helps me with the identification. Thanks in advance.

Sticking my neck out a bit here, but I think it might have a posterodorsal bristle on the hind tibia (just visible in the top photo only), so it could be Phaonia sp

Hmm... I think this combination of bristles is Helina sp. You need someone more expert than me for this one really.

Hello Susan,

I'm afraid it is a so-called Muscidae spec. Thanks for your reactions.
