Nearest I could find in the Gallery is Hydrophoria linogrisea (https://diptera.i...to_id=7208) but I'm really not familiar with these. Whitwell Common, UK 28/6/2019 Darwyn Sumner attached the following image:  [154.37Kb] |

I'd say this was Muscina levida (Muscidae)

Ouch! I got the wrong Family. Still got to say it looks nothing like other images of Muscina levida (e.g. https://diptera.i...d_id=85418) to me. Edited by Darwyn Sumner on 04-07-2019 09:05 |

Hello Darwyn, the photo in that linked post contains a male M. levida. Males are very dark blue-grey (blue-gray). Females tend to be much lighter but not always. The bend in the m vein will lead you to Muscidae and particularly Muscina. Also note the rust-colored tip of the scutellum.

I got this one wrong - it's Phaonia valida. (No presutural acrostichals, and bend in M not as marked as in M. levida) Thanks to Pierre-Yves for the correction! Edited by Tony Irwin on 09-07-2019 10:17 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
