I think that it is Muscidae. I wonder where is Stephane? I haven't seen Stephane post in a long time. I worry about him. I hate to bother people with email but i am tempted to write to him. I want to know that he is well. Maybe he is busy. Nikita usually visits but i think that he is often very busy as well.

I do not have enough experience to be helpful here but the tip of the scutellum seems to be pale. I wonder about Phaonia but we cannot see a Phaonia bristle. Any other angles?

Hello John,

thank you for your reply! As I mentioned in the other thread, sometimes the fly won't allow more photos...
