I found this fly on 26-02-2011 in the Netherlands at rotting seaweed. It should be Copromyzinae because M isn't abbreviated and CuA1 in contrary, is abbreviated. The fly is some 4 mm big and has an orange frons. Can anyone give me ID?

Could be a
Copromyza, but send me the specimen and I will have a species name for you.

I'll send you:) Last week I found already Copromyza equina, but in a very different environment. (on dung) But they didn't have these orange frons, so I'm curious.

There is a reasonable extent of variation in colour, but since I cannot be certain (even of genus) I asked to send it. ;)

This was a male of
Copromyza similis.
