Hi Frank. I think, yes, all Anthomyiidae, exclude the last. Last is Tachinidae, male of Phasia barbifrons or Phasia pusilla. Nikita


Here ist it again, including a second pq photo (very busy specimen).
Thanks to Nikita and thanks in advance for more comments

Looks like frontal bristles are in one row only, I think Ph. pusilla.

Yeah, the frontal area is nice and shiny so it looks clear of hairs and should be P.pusilla but I like to see the haltare to be really sure it isn't barbifrons (yellow haltare). Wink

Thanks Nikita & Chris!
Haltare? Im not shure - the fly was moving very fast and most of the photos are not very sharp. It seems to be white (light yellow white), but to be shure I had to search and examine the specimen. Best regards Frank

Hi Frank, If you have the specimen just check the colour of the haltare: yellow=P.barbifrons, brown=P.pusilla. Then to make sure, check the parafrontal area and look for hairs between the row of stout bristles and the edge of the eye - with hairs=barbifrons, without=pusilla. Smile

"brown" and "without" => pusilla
thanks again

Warning:
The haltere-feature as mentioned by Chris is OK in Britain, but not 100 % in Switzerland.

The 'halter brown -> pusilla' part is correct even in Switzerland.

But in Central Europe there are species with yellow halteres and still facial bristles as in pusilla.

Anyway, this one should be fine

Good point - in general my opinions are based on English specimens Smile

If I climb on our roof, I can see "Raperland" - if I would have a good telescope and exellent weather Wink
Best regards
