Goodmorning, long time no see  Here is a fly I photographed today (15/11/2012), in Crete, Greece, found it on the lavenders in the garden. Sorry, it flew off after this shot, so I don't have any other views. markop attached the following image:  [188Kb] Edited by markop on 15-11-2012 11:40 |

Probably Anthomyiidae, I think.

Yes, you're right Chris, thanks! I'll change the title to "Anthomyiidae?". Can anyone tell the genus? |

Could be a male of Anthomyia literata or confusanea. This is the literata group of Anthomyia, the other group are the black and white patterned flies (see post earlier from Spain. Although they look quite different, they have similar genitalia in the males. The two species I mentioned are difficult to separate except by the male genitalia. I found confusanea more common than literata in Crete many years ago. |
