I'm guessing this is some sort of calliphorid, but I'm not entirely sure. Any help with the ID would be much appreciated. This fly was photographed on 11/05/2021 in the margin of a commercial strawberry field in Kent, UK. Many thanks, Dylan Edited by evdebs on 13-05-2021 07:44 |

Hi Dylan, I'm quite sure it's a male Bellardia. With only one pv bristle on the fore tibia and the long hairs on tergite 4 it's probably a B. viarum. Greetings, Eric |

Hi Eric, that's great. Thank you very much for the help with the ID! I've never seen a Bellardia sp. before, so this is a new one for me. All the best, Dylan |
