Another fly, similar to the one-winged fly posted earlier. Another Coenosia sp?

I don't think any Coenosiinae have that bent vein M.

This one puzzles me. What could it be ? Absolutely no idea...

I think this must be a calyptrate fly. If it is a Calyptrate fly it can only be a Muscid. If it is a Muscid, the general body plan suggests Coenosiinae. The strong bend in M vein suggests Muscinae. Yet no Muscinae should look like this one. So we are back to Coenosiinae. A braker of a rule? Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

I think this may be one of the Siphonini - perhaps it's worth altering the title to "Muscidae/Tachinidae?" to get others to have a look?

Right, changing the title helped: Let me give a hypothesis: this is the female corresponding to the other incredible creature from the same locality. The head profile looks similar and the calyptrae seem to be small, don't they ? Theo |

just to confirm, this is indeed the female of Macrotarsina longimana (Rhinophoridae). Theo |
