An Anthomyiid or a Muscid? Does someone have any idea on the genus?

---

Another view. This could be tough.

---

I raise this thread also. Nikita, Stephane, Kahis and others, can some of you help with the family?

---

I will not be helpfull for this one, but my guess is Anthomyiidae.

---

I raise this thread. Michael do you have any opinion on this?

---

The first photo suggests that the arista is plumose? If so it is Hylemya, and with yellow tibia it is Hylemya urbica Wulp female
I might come back on the previous two anthos, they are interesting, but I need some time to check on them

---

I think the arista is plumose indeed.

---

I think I found another fly belonging to this species. Another female I assume.

---

Another view.

---

And another image.

---

In the female of urbica the yellowish tibiae can vary from very indistinct and only on the hind tibia, to both mid and hind femora more extensive. In the latter case it approaches the female of Hylemya vagans, and they can be difficult to separate, The male of H. urbica often has entirely black tibiae, and so you have to look at the genitalia to separate it from H. variata which is quite different. If anyone is interested i will post figs of the two genitalia as jpeg files, which might come out clearlt.

Thx Michael for the explanation. We are interested in the figure. I hope I posted some images of the male in another thread (but I may be completely wrong.)

---

I have had some trouble in getting these drawings to come through. This is my last attempt

---

The first one is Hylemya urbica, the second is variata

---

Perhaps this size is smaller
