Hello!

I'm not even sure about the family of this 6 mm female from near the forest (northwest Germany).


P.S.: I would be very pleased, if someone could also take a look at these other Anthomyiidae (and Muscidae) from this week (too many (16) pics to post them here).

I saw your photos also on your own site.....but difficult to say if you have Hylemya or Hydrophoria...
View on the hindtibia are a bit blur...and i can't see if there are 2 or 3 pd on the hind tibia.
If you see them again....try to make a good shot from the hindtibia....(and calypters if possible)

Joke :)

This time my main focus was to get an impression of the masses of flies, not the individuals. I'll try to get better pics next time (hoping for better weather...).
