Dear Forum,

I found this (rather big and robust, for Anthomyiidae?) fly in the garden... any ID suggestions?

Thanks,



Markus

Perhaps Helina evecta? - certainly Muscidae rather than Anthomyiidae

Hey Tony, Helina evecta might well fit!

Hmm, I could have known that... found Helina evecta earlier this year, although smaller and at different place. Hope it's now better stored inside my brain... :-)

Thanks and regards!

Markus
