Yellow fly with wing length about 4mm found 30 June 2014 indoors in Ipswich, Suffolk. I think this is a female Meiosimyza rorida.
Is that the right ID?

Best wishes,
Martin

Looks good! I think I see the row of anteroventral spines on fore femur in the second (frontal) photo. Two sternopleural setae are present, and also the chaetotaxy is ok (compare http://www.dipter...d_id=42117). So I would agree with your ID Smile.
Regards, Sundew

Thanks Sundew.

I've cropped this image to try and give a better view of the anteroventral comb-like rows of black spinules on the fore femora.

Best wishes,
Martin

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
