This is the last of the six fly specimens that I managed to photograph on my recent Cyprus trip and the least impressive, though perhaps one for Stephane? It was found near Avtepe on 30 March 2012 and was another species that seemed to like Glebionis (Chrysanthemum) coronarium flowers. Unfortunately it has shed a leg. I do have the specimen which is about 8mm long. Any suggestions as to identification greatly appreciated. Many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [97.13Kb] Edited by Alan Outen on 04-04-2012 18:51 |

Looks like Tachinidae to me!?

Yes, I'd guess Tachinidae but I'd need to see the specimen to be sure or have a go at an identification
