When I look at this I think Muscidae but then shouldn't there be at least a little bend of that vein to the tip of the wing? And then if scathophagidae there should be another cross vein I also can't see ...
ok, you can laugh, I know I need help :D
BTW, my book goes on talking about veins 1, 2, 3, 4 ... and that is not the way people is talking here! Can you suggest a place to see a translation and which vein is which? :)

Hi Armando.
Vein M1+2 easy to find, it has fore- and hind- crossveins. And in your case vein M1+2 do not curved forward. And it is exactly as it has to be in Muscidae (or as well Anthomyiidae).

Is this maybe
Phaonia errans again?
For the names of the veins, go to the link in Miscellaneous called Anatomical Atlas. I sympathise - I can never remember which is called what and spend half my life looking this stuff up.
