It's a Meromyza, but I don't think it's possible to be sure of the species from these photos.

Thank you Tony! Obviously Meromyza is not easy: https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=102909 According to L.R.Rockwood, S.Zimmermann et T.R.Chamberlin, 1947, sited and shown in http://aramel.free.fr/INSECTES15-90'.shtml it should at least not be M. saltatrix but rather M. pratorum. I don't know how many other Meromyza look similar so I will write Meromyza species. Regards Lars |

Chloropidae; Chloropinae: Meromyza femorata Macquart, 1835. In the upper picture the typical black tip of the palpus can be seen. As well the strongly swollen hind femur being 4 times thicker than the hind tibia is a reliable feature of this common species. Dactylis glomerata ist the only confirmed host grass. Junior synonyms are M. laeta Meigen, 1838 and M. rufescens von Roser, 1840. |
