Dear forum first I thought I spotted Tephritidae sp.
But seen the bud of this fly and after a little search I think it is Paraclusia tigrina.
who can give me the right ID?
thanks
uwe

No, definately not Paraclusia. I think it is Psilidae, but I have never ID�d these and there are none with patterned wings in the gallery.

Well the markins are very similar to cognata (if You take less contrast to the photo) and the black double spot on scutellum :|

well Trypeta afaik has that black double spot on scutellum. ;)

But for markings.. really it fits better.

We must wait for the real expert. :)

Thank you all, so it is possibly Trypeta? But what about the bud, I thought Tephrid female has a diffrent bud, more elongated and getting dark, I love you all but it is so confusing.

maybe she stil arround here, waiting to get catched?
uwe:o

Better than anything I could have thought up. No offence uwe....GREAT.

On second thoughts...I think you should stay under the stairs for a little longer....Maybe next week at the earliest.

OK, no doubt, the only ACIDIA COGNATA Wd! Sorry - I overlooked it just because it was "Paraclusia". I luv clusiids and have a very good European collection, but am not an expert to put my nose in...

Jarif was on the right track! :)

Clusiids are fantastic flies. Seeing "lekking" in clusiids is amazing. I would like to see more clusiids. ;)

I guess I now have a species name in case I encounter a new species for which I thought I knew the genus but was not entirely certain. :D

And what about Musca lol or Musca roftl (more enigmatic!)? :D :P

Well, this was a great thread. One of my favourite. ;)
