Hi All,

I am working on a project identifying flies from photos, and i am unsure about separating these families. I think the only reliable way is with the wing veins, for which I am using the attached identification diagrams.
I just wanted to ask your opinions, firstly if you think these vein diagrams are reliable, and secondly if you would also identify this to Muscidae family based on the shorter cu-vein appendix?

many thanks everyone!!
