Hello,
Still in Savoy (France), 2007/7/27, 1750 m above sea. Size 10mm or about.
This time, I'm already fearing to get the answer I don't want to read...
But anyway, here we go...

You don't want to reed "Anthomyiidae female"?
Sorry.
This nice fly (another species of same genus, I think) I've met last october in Sochi region, females only, alas.
Someday I'll found answer...

I wonder if they are also related to Juergen's 'nice little fly' from
http://www.dipter...ad_id=7637
- look at the white mark on Pierre's first pic - is it dusting that disappears depending on the angle one views the fly, or is it an artifact or reflection?

Hello,
I think the white stripe at the base of the thorax is real (not an artifact or a light reflexion) on Nikita's pictures and on my own ones.

Coming back to
http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=7954
Today I collected attached fly.
This Anthomyiidae emale is possible to ID, it has long plumose arista (as well as fly from Sochi at least).
This fly is
Hylemya vagans/nigtimana

Nikita,
Are you sure that the last photo is the same as the former one?
It seems that the general colour of the thorax is much different...

Not Peirre, I'm not sure, but I know where to search now!
In your case it may be useless if species not collected :(
We have to know at least:
1. Is arista as long plumose as in cases N 2 and 3?
2. If yes, is lower squama projecting?

I don't collect. No time, no material, no space to store, etc.
