Hi, this fly was cleaning itself in my garden yesterday, sat on a Hydrangea leaf. Nearest I have found is Macronychia in the Family Sarcophagidae. Of course I could be totally wrong! It is a small fly, maybe the size of a house fly or less. Location: Lincoln Date: 26th September 2007. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks!

It can not be a Sarcophagid. I think this will be an Anthomyiid, and that is where the ID will end.

Not Sarcophagidae (M vein is straight). I would say Anthomyiidae.

Thank you Xespok and Stephane, it looks like you are unanimous! I looked in the Gallery and found one which resembles it very closely, Hydrophoria lancifer . Could there be another as close? |
