Hello,
A Heleomyzidae found in North of France, at Oxelaere, the 19 September 2021, feeding on honeydew from
Eucallipterus tiliae, on a
Tilia sp. leaves, in a public garden
I think it is a female
Trixoscelis sp. but I am not sure between
T. canescens,
T. frontalis and
T. similis ?
(Not visible on the pictures is the abdomen becoming more darker in a line in the center)

Yes, either of the three species (difficult to ID).

Thanks you very much, Paul ! :)
Is there a key of this genus available on internet ? It would be very helpful for future encounter with this fly
