Hi, this couple was seen on May 20, 2012, 4 p.m. in our garden in Hannover, Germany. Could it be Phorbia moliniaris? They were mating on a leaf of Mahonia aquifolium.

Thank you for answers!

Hans

Not Phorbia moliniaris, as the male of that species has the eyes almost touching on frons. I am somewhat doubtful if it is an anthomyiid. The antennae look more like Coenosiinae? No bristles in focus to guide us I am afraid.

Thank you, Michael!
Could it then be Coenosia agromyzina?
I change the the thread to Muscidae.

This is indeed Coenosia agromyzina.
