Collected in July in near a saltmarsh (Saefthinghe) in the Netherlands. I'm hesitating if the longitudinal veins are shaded, in that case it would be Drosophila immigrans I think, otherwise something near D. limbata or D. phalerata? I'm interested in any response:)

Not immigrans (longitudinal vein tips don't show much shading, if any, but also black patches on tergites are too square.)

Also not phalerata (tergite pattern wrong).

D limbata might be reasonable (I don't know it) Also D. histrio or D. kuntzei (Can't remember

Ship it to me in due time. It should either be limbata or kuntzei, in my opinion.
