No drosophilid, probably Pallopteridae.

Hi,

not Drosophilidae. Maybe Pallopteridae (Palloptera quinquemaculata?)?

Hello People,

An often made mistake this one! Palloptera quinquemaculata (Pallopteridae) is the species it should be then. But that species has a small black spot in the wing base, the most basal crossvein is laso shaded and the body is more yellow. It actually is: Minettia inusta (Lauxaniidae). Often confused these two and also with Suillia variegata (Heleomyzidae) and Neottiophilum praeustum (Piophilidae).

Regards,

Ectemnius
