Hi, i reared this fly from its pupa, but have no idea what it could be. The pupa fell from Hawthorn i collected for feeding some caterpillars. I don't recall seeing any infected caterpillars or any fly larvae. However the pupa were lying on the bottom of the container when i cleaned the container. There were three pupa. The flies were 6-7 mm long. Taken in Salisbury from Hawthorn near the River Avon a couple of weeks ago. They hatched 5 days ago. Any thoughts would be welcome, i'll load up a couple of images. Thanks Richard richard_thomas100 attached the following image:  [10.62Kb] |

Sorry Richard, Not enough detail and a bit dark for an ID by photo. If you'd like to send the specimens to me then I'd be happy to key them out and give you an ID - just PM me.  |

It's a possibility - send them over - i might be able to PhotoShop them if they are high-enough resolution. What happened to the specimens, if you don't mind me asking?
