Indeed again Anthomyiidae.
Lasiomma sp female.
Probable L.seminitidum/anthomyinum.
Mostly i collect lots of L.seminitidum and less L.anthomyidum.

Thanks again. It is from the same place as the "80%"
L. seminitidum (several of them there), so it is well possible.

Female of L.seminitidum / anthomyinum are very simular. The only different can be made by looking on the ventral side of the costa.
Costa is bare at L.anthomyinum and setulose at L. seminitidum. And such a different is only visible with a microscope....
But the male L.anthomyinum has 6 av on hindtibia and L.semintidum has only 2 av.
So the male seems to be L.seminitidum (2av on t3 + eyes short pubescent haired)
And with mostly male and females together :D it is very likely the female is also L.seminitidum.

Many thanks, Joke! It is interesting, how different males and females look.
