Hello,

what can be said about this fly? Is it perhaps a Phaonia (Anthomyiidae)?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello, Michael!

Phaonia would be Muscidae. But I don't think it's a Phaonia, I would also vote for Anthomyiidae (but I'm no expert...).

Hi J?rgen,

thanks for answering. Yes, Phaonia is in Muscidae - perhaps it was too late yesterday.

I looked through the anthomyiid gallery. The only one I found with such a light brown abdomen was Pegomyia bicolor. Could it be a Pegomyia species?

Michael
