June 10, 2007. Shady forest (mostly Picea/P. tremula). Size 5 mm. It even moves like a flat-footed fly. Funny, I didin't find any Platypezidae at this location so far (there's plenty of them on the other side of the railroad, Pinus sylvestris forest).

As Kahis told "if I'm not totally mistaken" it is Muscidae, Azelia, nice fly! As for species level - on 1-st photo t3 looks rather simple, on 2-nd it seems that t3 has row of long dorsal seta. Check specimen, please. Nikita Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 11-06-2007 11:50 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
