Dear forum,
Is this Scathophagidae and can it be further identified?
Thank you,
Best regards, Niek

NO. Muscidae, I think.

Dear Jorge,
That is quick!
Because of your question mark: can I record it as Pegomyia sp.?
Best regards, Niek

Pegomyia is Anthomyiidae. This fly has a plumose arista. As far as I know Pegomyia has no plumose arista. And Pegomyia has a much more flatten abdomen.
Somewhere in Phaonia? I'm not sure. St?phane will fix me by sure. Or Nikita.

I think so,
Pegomya, Anthomyiidae.

Dear Jorge,
My reply and your edit "crossed" each other.
Herewith another picture, perhaps not of the same animal, but I think of the same genus. Does it help?
Best regards, Niek

:( I see a plumose arista. I thought that Pegomyia had no plumose arista.

aha!! the abdomen is really very flattened! :| the arista is not plumose as I thought! St?phane is right as always.

Arista's not plumose but moving to my opinion. There is 3 postsut dc, hind tibia chaetotaxy is for Pegomya... ;)

yes. I saw it clearly in second photo. :)
The first photo mistaked me because the abdomen seemed to me so blunt! but it is not. :) thanks, St?phane.
