Hello,
I think this little fly (approx.8mm) shot in my garden in Normandy (France) is an Anthomyiidae.

Anthomyia procellaris ? Is it right?
Thank's for your help.

Five species are recognized in the Anthomyia pluvialis complex from Europe: bazini, imbrida, pluvialis, procellaris and quinquemuculata
All species are present in France.
The setae on the hindtibia are not good visible, but i don't think it is imbrida (should have a row of ad, 9-15)
The lateral postsutural black spot is not separated from the small spot above wing base, so no pluvialis.
Then there are left:
A.procellaris / quinquemaculat / bazini
A.procellaris is the most common one
So...only a look at the genitals can give result

A. inbrida has 9-15 or more ad setea on the hindtibia and A. procellaris / quinquemaculata / bazini have 5-9 ad setae on the hindtibia.....
There seems to be more than 5, but that is all i can say..
