Hello!

Besides the first Scatomyza pallida 2008: http://www.foto-u..._2_5mm.jpg, there was also this one yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany, at garden shed, 13 ?C), with a more greyish look and dark legs.
I'm not sure if it is a Scaptomyza, too, or possibly even a different family (Chloropidae or Agromyzidae come into my mind). Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Thanks! Interesting that it had the same size and similar habitus as the Scaptomyza, that I had found a few moments before. Therefore my first thought was: "Oh, what an unusually couloured Scaptomyza!" Wink.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Probably Chromatomyia horticola (Agromyzidae). This genus was recently split from Phytomyza. It is perhaps the only truly polyphagous agromyzid in Europe.
