Hello, I would suspect this specimen to be a Hylemya (female), possibly vagans ?? Please note I'm not sure of anything, not even the family... therefore sorry if I mislead anybody with my guesses! Thank you so much for your help! Location: Vevey (Switzerland) Date-time: 2013-1-31 14:15 Habitat: In a little forest near the city Size: 7 mm approx.

I have just found in a diptera gallery a possibly better genus candidate in my opinion: Coenosia. What do you think of it? |

Anthomyiidae, I think Hylemya vagans too.

Thank you very much Stephane! I like the fly's posture and I would have been saddened if no ID was possible! |

That specimen looks as if it's preparing to invite another fly to join it in a waltz! [/End whimsical mode] |

What is visible in these photos to make this fly a Hylemya? |

Long haired arista + non-projecting lower calypter + yellow legs.

Thank you so much Stephane for providing the details! Could you please tell me whether it is correct to translate that into: "arista plumeuse + cuilleron thoracique ne dépassant pas le cuilleron alaire + pattes jaunes"? |
