Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Annoying Muscid - Drymeia sp.?

Hi

This is a new one to me. Caught in open grassland with cattle nearby 9. VI 2009.
Body length some 7.5 mm.

It keys out as Drymeia vicana reasonably well, but I am a bit unhappy about the description of that species.
Drymeia sp. should be okay, however, with proclinate lower orbital and crossed interfrontals.

Am I right in assuming that it is D. vicana? Would be quite a nice find for Denmark apparently.

Regards,
Walther
