Hi,

Can anyone assist with an Id for this fly please ? it is very similar to my last post in which Martin kindly pointed me to Coenosia tigrina but I don't think it is the same sp. The picture was taken at the same time in the same area on 27th May 2006 in Surrey Southern England

Do I spy a Phaonia bristle there?

Well the bend in vein M is very sharp, which suggests subfamily Muscinae. But at least no one doubts this is a Muscid!!

Sorry - of course, the M vein bend means it is not Phaonia - not paying attention properly.
