Mosc reg., 22 Aug, 3-4mm, on dead hadgehog
P.S. I do not kill hedgehogs:@, but if I find a dead on the road I take it in the forest and observe:D
A very good way to find a lot of interesting flies!

No
Rivellia. The one species of the genus recorded from your part of the world is
R. syngenesiae, which is completely different. Perhaps the piophilid,
Mycetaulus bipunctatus?

Thank you Paul, it is!
So, my hedgehog isn't what fly looked for...

If it is the piophilid, then the hedgehog is exactly what the fly was looking for. :)

I sometimes find this fly (
Mycetaulus bipunctatus) among opomyzid material. And well ..... I have to admit, superficially it looks like a
Geomyza species.

It even acts very much like Geomyza or Rivellia...
But really, what is the reason to have spotted wing, if you don't move its permanentelly?
:D
