Dear Nikita,

why not a female Hebecnema nigricolor?

I can't think of many Muscidae with such a small anterior spiracle. The spiracle doesn't fit with most genera of Muscidae. The palpi appear to be dark brown. Mid and hind femora yellow. I can't see Helina here so what else would it be? edit: plus the wing veins are brownish-yellow.

edit: I've tried to key it again and the only other competitor is Mydaea electa. I remember that Mydaea has a yellowish wing base.

Best Wishes,
John
