Hi all !!!
Yesterday I could picture the specimen below in my Garden.
It was not easy.
Here are some pictures. The length of the specimen is about 8,5mm measured on picture.
The specimen seems to be "emerging" !
Is it possible to ID ???
Thank you for your comments. !!!
Edit : add picture of the face and 3d tibia (hind tibia) ...
Perhaps this could hepl ID !!!
Didier

Hello Didier, it's one of Muscidae, indeed, and it's a fresh specimen, not fully sclerotised! I think it's a female
Phaonia and I
guess it's a
Phaonia subventa. If you'll find the adult, we could be more sure.

Are you sure this specimen is a female ?

No Didier, I'm not sure - my guess was based on your 4th image.
But this looks more like a male! |t
