Hi everyone!
It's been so long since i post here...
What a nice site here now, with so many changes !!! (congratulations to Paul and everyone at Diptera.info !)
Anyway, ... i have this hippoboscidae (if i can file get a convinient picture re-sizement...) that i suppose to be Ornithomia avicularia...
Several individuals found on a young pigeon in Hyères, France.
Can anyone confirm, or not ?
Any advise is welcome,
Happy christmas,
Stephan

It looks weird and the host is a clear indication for Pseudolynchia canariensis.
So search for Pseudolynchia and Ornithomyia in this forum and draw your conclusions.

Thanks Theo !
It looks much more to a Pseudolynchia than Ornithomyia !
When i search more on Pseudolynchia, it seem very difficult to make difference between P. garzettae and P. canariensis...
So i will stand on Pseudolynchia sp...;)

Well, that is actually VERY easy:
canariensis is restricted to pigeons,
garzettae to Owls and Nightjars
in the end, they might prove synonynous....
