Medium sized flies (~5mm) with eyes half-striped.
Lately I see them often feasting on the oxeye daisies.
Photos taken in Crete, Greece, on June 10th, 2007.

EDIT: Changed the title from "Unknown fly with half-striped eyes" to "Answered: Calliphoridae, Rhiniinae, Stomorhina cf. lunata"

Thanks my friend! That was really quick :-)

I knew it would be very common, I see them a lot.
But I couldn't guess the family of this fly, so I didn't know where to look...

Now I remembered myrmician's photo from last year, that you had also identified as Rhiniinae.

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
