Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Yet more flies from Lauzelle
#1
Lauselle, (Louvain la neuve, Belgium) November 22nd 2007. Approx 3-4 mm. On tree trunks.
Help appreciated!
#2
Any inspiration on this one ?
#3
Uh oh! no reaction ?
How about Fannia sp ? Is that conceivable ?

Really! Nobody has any idea? Can't believe it !
Or is it so obvious that you are actually sending a silent message for me to do some basic homework on this ID ?
Cheers
Philippe

I think it is not obviuos. In fact this is a rather indistinct fly for which only a single view is provided. It is Fanniidae/Anthomyiidae/Muscidae. That is all I can reasonanbly say.

Probably Muscidae of the Spilogona - Limnophora group of genera.
#7
There is a hint of a dark triangular mark on the abdomen which suggests
Spilogona/
Limnophora, as Kahis says, but without a more detailed shot, it's difficult to say more, especially as it's a female.

Thanks a lot, all!
I fully realize how tough it is, especially with only one live photo (I have a few, but all from the same angle) with a modicum of detail. It's already more than I was hoping for, to say the truth.
Cheers
