Not Sepsidae. Perhaps Piophilidae?

Hi tuomo and Paul,

I would say Psilidae instead of Piophilidae. there are huge dorsocentrals on the thorax. I know of no Piophilidae which have such huge dorsocentrals but there are Chamaepsila which do.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius

Thank you Ectemnius! Psilidae seems more like the images.

[3 (4) dorsocentral setae, Head black. Antennae black. Tibia yellow and tarsus yellow but last tarsus dark. Femur black with pale knee. Body bristles brown to black. 3 dorsocentral (dc) Wings hyaline.]
