Hello,

Any idea of this Anthomiid fly ?

Leucophora sp or Anthomyia sp have been suggested to me for ID...

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I was suggested Anthomyia because Leucophora has bristles erect at the distal margin of the tergites.

I'm wondering whether you could confirm that Smile

Hello,

are you sure, this is Anthomyiidae and not Muscidae? (But I'm no expert.)

Actually I'm not sure, the habitus is pretty similar to Anthomyiidae but I know it's tricky to discern those two groups for some individuals...

probably Leucophora, no Muscidae

Okay thanks for your help Smile
And do you have any idea why it's not Anthomyia ?
