Photographed yesterday at Leerdam, Netherlands. I found several of these flies sunning on tree trunks near the water. They were appr. 7-8 mm long. Arista were feathered. There seems to be a row of hairs on the lower part of the eyes. I guess they are Anthomyiidae? Would it be possible to tell which genus?

I think it's Muscidae. Why not Polietes domitor ? Regards. Stephane. |

Thanks, Stephane! As a matter of fact I thought of Polietes, because of the row of hairs on the eyes, bluish shine and broad abdomen, but it did not match the species I know (lardarius and meridionalis). http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

My answer has to be validated however... Stephane. |

Not too common fly, by the way... My opinion is: 1. Stephane is too modest 2. N2 and N3 - good addition to Gallery. My test - to move a little bit grey scale, especialy in N2, to make more details visible. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thank you for confirmation, Nikita. It is the first genus with more than one species in the Netherlands I have completed  I will send the photos to the gallery. However, I do not have an application on my computer to adjust the colors, I think. http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |
