The photo is poor but it's the only one I've got, as far as I can see it looks like Thricops nigrifrons, but the abdomen on the pic in the gallery is not very visible and mine may be different.

Can anyone tell me?

Thanks Smile

Hi Nikita, I think you didn't see the bent of vein M here.

I was so proud that my image help somebody in "black job" identification...
Alas, with such vein M it is Theo's department...

Shock Nikita, you must know much more than me, I'm relatively a newcomer to the world of flies so don't beat yourself up about it. If I knew which vein M was I would be wiser, perhaps I should find out!

Hoping Theo will drop by.........Grin
