Please excuse my total lack of knowledge in this field. I am asking for an ID request for a small very active fly I photographed some time ago. It was moving all the time and escaped before I got close enough to look at it. This is the only image I have taken from some distance and cropped.

ah, there it is: Tephritidae, but don't ask me which genus or species. It is not my group.

Welcome to the forum! As to colouration I'd say Acidia cognata (they love to run on leaves in half-shady woods), but, unfortunately, details of wing pattern as well as thorax bristles are not clearly visible. Valery or another Tephritid expert should better confirm my guess. Next time better luck with still-sitting flies  ! Regards, Sundew Edited by Sundew on 27-07-2013 12:41 |
