Hi, Today I saw this nice fly and first thought of Miltogramminae, but wing venation looks more muscid-like. So I am at my wits' end and hope for your help. Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [107.41Kb] Edited by Sundew on 07-04-2009 22:37 |

It looks to me like a muscid (no bend in the median vein) but the swollen frons could be due to it having recently emerged from the puparium ... possibly?

Leucophora sounds good! So it is an Anthomyiid. May be it is teneral indeed. I took another pic of another fly, probably belonging to the same taxon, and its frons was not thus wide. (Unfortunately there is only this somewhat blurred photo.)
