Hi flyforum,

I was wondering what kind of fly this is?
I thought it is a Scathophaga-specie.

Perhabs someone can tell more..
Or is it Suillia-specie?

What kind of Scatophaga Wink ? ?

Thank you Susan!

What makes it Scathophaga for you? and not Suillia sp. ?

and..

What about Scathophaga suilla? (looks like it.., but I am not very sure..)

Scathophaga Suilla: important characters are red antennae, plumose arista, red shoulders and black apexes of yellow/red femoras.

Where are the black apexes of yellow/red femoras? (where can I find these things.?)

see MID femur, in ventral femur you can see very fine yellow "hairs" (setae). Scathophaga has always those setae.

I advice you to see OVERVIEWS:
