From some of the previous post I think it might be conlcuded that this is a Fannia. The dirt at the tip of the wings and the fact that the wings have not completely unfolded indicate that this fly had problems emerging from the spot where the larva pupated. It just could not get out quick enough.

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
