Netherlands, 25-10-2008, on sheepdung. It has one sternopleural bristle, only the first of the three upper frontal bristles is pointed forward and it has a bold arista. This keys out in a small group with Conisternum spec. and also Scathophaga furcata. General apearance of Trichopalpus fraternus is also very close. This species seems to have longer tarsi - as in my picture -, particularly in first and third leg. Is an id possible here?

Could this be Trichopalpus fraternus? I used: Key to the British Scathophagidae (Diptera) by Dr Stuart G. Ball, but it difficult from pictures. Perhaps somebody knows this species, and even when it is a very common Scatophaga i am interested in id, Klaas. Klaas attached the following image:  [138.55Kb] |

Now i start to believe this is 'just' a grey form of Scathophaga stercoraria! Klaas |

I am pretty sure it is Conisternum decipiens.

I would have liked a confirmation (I know Dr Ozerov is an expert of this family, but he's not often on the forum).
