Anthomyiidae - Pegomya female.

Seems not a Pegomya species to me. (very strong vibrissa and arista placed on top of flagellomere and chaetotaxy of the legs seems different, also the setae on thorax seems to strong to me for Pegomya..)
I am more thinking about Muscidae...
Can you agree Stephen with me....or not!:( :D

Are there by the way other photos...?

I agree with Joke. No Pegomya female has lower calypter as large, and the head is not Pegomya-like, the postpedicels are too long and seem to be pointed apically. Can't see scutal setae, wing venation, hind tarsomere 1 for characters which might help

I think it is Atherigona (Muscidae) long antennae inserted in the upper corner of the head and it seems to have one reclinate orbital and one short pd on the hindtibia.
But if I am right ?..just wait for Stephane or Nikita to confirm.

Mea culpa - I did this in a hurry on my way to the Gallery for something else. Must be more careful :|

I think Atherigona will be right, but it is difficult to give a surtain species name.
There are some more species known, but the discription given in Hennig for them is for females a bit unreliable.
Maybe it could be A. varia, but I think you have to collect some species (male + female) to say something more for sure.
