Because of bristly legs, I tend to go for Anthomyiidae. But than it should be rather distinctive.

My impression is rather Muscidae, Coenosinae than Anthomyiidae

The jizz is not quite right for Coenosiinae, and the anal vein clearly goes all the way to the wing margin, so I'd go with Anthomyiidae.
The brown wing margin and general colouration may enable someone (not me! Sad) to put this in a genus at least... Kahis?

My vote goes to Anthomyiidae. Further than that, please do not ask? Cool

Also if I see costa with developed spines, than it usually ends up being either a Heleomyzid or an Anthomyiid. Because the thoracic suture is not very visible, I did not dare to put this fly as an Anthomyiid.

Is the spinulose costa a good indicator of Anthomyiidae, or one should not use this character at all.

If I remember correctly I should have this specimen.

Thx to all of you for the help.

It is not a good character for Anthomyiidae. If you look at the photographs of heleomyzids, you'll see that the costal spines in that family have a different character: they are widely spaced and of equal length.

It seems that you are right, Gabor. At least everything I can see on your images fits OK with specimen I have.

Please, check the group of 3-6 rather strong bristles in marked area just under posterior spiracle!

I received Michael Auckland s opinion in thid fly. He thinks this is unlikely an Anthomyiid.

He thinks this is a Coenosiine Muscid. Maybe around C. tricolor?

You're doubting Gabor ? Look at Black's pictures and look at your fly !
And the sole Coenosia with costa ending at R4+5 apex is C. agromyzina which is quite different. Wink
