Hello,
Here is a brown fly that was inspecting the rotten strawberries in my brother's garden not far from the Baltic coast. The photo was taken last week. I find it difficult to tell all these brownies apart, so I shall surely continue to bother you with them - please stay patient...
Thanks for possible ID,
Sundew

Probably Elgiva solicita (Sciomyzidae)

Without chaetotaxi of pleura there are two possibility:
Elgiva solicita and Ilione albiseta. The last is tipical mid-summer species. On the other hadn, the first has all-year activity. Along with absence on witthish stripe on notopleura -
Elgiva solicita is my opinion too.

Thanks a lot for the precise ID - I didn't expect to get even a species name! I try to keep the characters of this one in mind for the future (unless a more or less resembling one will call forth all my doubts again...)

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
