The photo is poor but it's the only one I've got, as far as I can see it looks like Thricops nigrifrons, but the abdomen on the pic in the gallery is not very visible and mine may be different.

Can anyone tell me?

Thanks :)

Hi Nikita, I think you didn't see the bent of vein M here.

I was so proud that my image help somebody in "black job" identification...
Alas, with such vein M it is Theo's department...

:o Nikita, you must know much more than me, I'm relatively a newcomer to the world of flies so don't beat yourself up about it. If I knew which vein M was I would be wiser, perhaps I should find out!

Hoping Theo will drop by.........:D
