You're welcome ! Your photographs are a real pleasure for identification, even small details like haired notopleuron are visible ; in fact all the necessary parts for muscid identification are well visible, legs chaetotaxy, thorax chaetotaxy, arista hairiness, palpi, pattern on abdomen, radial node of wing, prealar, notopleuron etc. It's like having the fly in hand. Thanks to you for making my work easier ! :D

Thank you! :) It feels good to get some encouragement ( even though my pictures are of varying quality). However it is much easier to photograph a light fly (like this) than a black one....
