Hello
This wing venation could it be that of an Anthomyiidae, if so the genus Fucellia is it possible, I found this diptera by the sea.

It belongs to Scathophagidae which are not clearly separated from Anthomyiidae. The species is Ceratinostoma ostiorum which develops in seaweed. I'm interested in material of this species for the case you could find a small series in future.

Hello
Thank you for this feedback and this identification.
I will return to the site to try to collect other individuals, if I succeed I would need your skills again, for validation before sending you the specimens.
In the worst case, I kept the individual subject of this post in alcohol and could send it to you.
thanks again

Hello Allan,
Your unexpected and surprising offer is really great. I would be indeed happy to receive comparative material of this species and hope that sooner or later you will be successful looking for it.
Bon chance

As I am not sure to find other specimens, I can mail you the one I have in my possession.
If I find others (and I will search!), I will send them to you afterwards.
Can you give me your address.
Thank you
