Hi Philippe - I think this looks much more like Anthomyiidae.

Hello Tony, Thanks a lot for your reply. How do you make that out ? Any specifics, or just a general impression ? Philippe |

This fly looks like a typical Delia sp to me, but this is more of an educated guess than an identification. There are dozens of Delia sp, many can only be distinguised by the dissection of male genitalia, females may be completetly undistingusable, except by DNA-based methods (which are not yet available for this group anyways.).

Thanks, I'll buy your educated guess and leave it at Delia sp.! Cheers Philippe |
