Hi there, I've spotted this fly a couple of months ago in my garden, which is situated in a small village just above the Town of Alkmaar in the Netherlands. Loads of farmland in the area, but I guess one would still call it suburban.  The fly is approx. 9 mm in length. I think it's a muscidae sp. but others say it's anthomyiidae. Can someone give a better ID? Thanks! Iolaire Edited by Iolaire on 27-08-2007 15:46 |

yes! Muscidae, Coenosia cf. tigrina? Not sure if it is tigrina, though. |
