Hello,

a 7 mm Muscid on a leaf near a small creek (northwest Germany). Helina impuncta/depuncta?

Hi once again,

is at least the genus correct?

Hello Jürgen,

you are right about Muscidae Helina impuncta/depuncta.

i find both of them together many times and it is difficult to separate them if certain features are not clearly visible, such as, arista and prealar bristle.

Best wishes,
John
