Hi,
can anyone help me identify this fly?
I took the photo on 10th of October 2013 in Kokkola, Finland.
Regards Pentti.

Which Anthomyiidae have reduced dorsocentral bristles? This fly has 1.5+2 instead of 2+3. Such reduction is common in Muscidae.

Actually it has 1.5 + 3 dc, the 1st post dc is broken (we can see the hole of the broken seta).
It is an Anthomyiidae for sure (Muscidae with 3 almost equal strong pd on t3 are very rare and different from this fly). As the arista is clearly plumose (and it doesn't seems to be neither an
Hylemya nor an
Hydrophoria), I guess it is an
Eutrichota, but I'm not an expert of the Anthomyiidae.
