This, I think, is a muscid, but not sure though.

I think it's probably a
Phaonia of some sort (so, yes, Muscidae).

Many thanks Susan

It is actually far outside the region of my competence, however, the palpi looks strongly clavate suggsting Lispe.

My vote goes to 'probably
Phaonia'. It is not a
Lispe, that much is sure (sorry Theo).
#7
Thanks Kahis
It's a very confusing fly
#8
I would have thought we might have seen a posterodorsal on the hind tibia if it was
Phaonia (unless its been knocked off). What about something like
Mydaea nebulosa?
#9
I vote for Phaonia too. If I remember correct:
1. Mydaea has more shining mesonotum
2. Mydaea hasn't infuscated crossveins
3. Mydaea hasn't such a hairy eyes

Thank you all for the effort
