The problem with photos of anthomyiids is that generally with a live fly on a substrate (trunk, board, leaf), the photo is taken from above at an angle or obliquely. If you had a pinned fly you could take the photo from below, front, side etc. A photo of the ventral aspect of the abdomen of an anthomyiid (especially a male) would make ID easier. The male sternite V is generally characteristic for many species.

Anthomyiid flies are especially difficult to recognise from their general fascies, and enlarged details of leg setae, pleural setae, scutal setae, aristal length eyc are important.
