Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Angioneura cyrtoneurina (Calliphoridae)?

This small fly (c5mm) keyed out to Angioneura cyrtoneurina, but I have no comparative material nor can I find any photos of the species.

Taken beside a spring-fed stream in a marshy valley bottom in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK yesterday.

Parafacialia are bare, as is the prosternum. One strong pair of scutellar bristles and a shorter, crossed apical pair. Frons roughly 3x width of ocellar triangle.

Thanks for any help with confirmation.

Could we get a lateral closeup of the head, please ?

Thanks

It is looking good !

Check whether the calpyter is large / Calliphorid-like and not small / Rhinophoridae-like.

Thank you very much, Theo...definitely Calliphorid-like calypters. It keyed out quite easily from Steven Falk's key to Calliphoridae...just needed to know I was not barking up completely the wrong tree!
