Dear fly forum,

Can anyone help me to ID this fly? I took these pictures today in my glasshouse where the temperature is kept just above zero minimally.
I assume it is Muscidae.

Thank you,
Best regards, Niek

Phaonia sp. I think.
Not Helina.

I told that this couldn't be Helina because there is no Helina with such posterodorsal bristle/seta on hind tibia.
And, for example, the presence of a prealar seta in this fly discards Coenosia as well. But don't trust me. I'm not the truth. Muscidae is for Stephane and Nikita, for now. I'm just trying. Wink

See overviews section for explanation of these terms. Wink

Hello Niek,
I think your fly is a female Phaonia tuguriorum too.

Regards.
