Hello,

Caught on a window (18 03 2012), in an urban flat near Paris. Length about 3-3,2 mm. Using the key in the Manual of nearctic diptera, I find Megaselia, but there are some steps for which I am not really sure... Is Megaselia correct ? If yes, is it possible to tell the species ?

Thanks in advance !...

Edit : this thread and this one seem to suggest Megaselia rufipes is a good candidate ?

The large setae on the back would support rufipes...
