Thread subject: Diptera.info :: black Drosophila ?

Hi flyforum,

This little fly looks some 'Drosophila' to me.
The lifted scutellum is a bit obviously, I didn't mention this before.

When I compare this Drosophila(?)fly with a D. Subobscura which I watched before on this place, the abdomen are quite different!
Is this a sex-different? (male perhabs?)

Also the face is more white..
Strange Tarsus first leg!! (see pic 2)

Other Drosophila sp. ?
