16.12.2013, Kenya, Kiambu County, 3 km NE Kijabe, a patch of indigenous vegetation near a stream in Pinus patula forest. Size ca. 7 mm. Maybe Platystomatidae?

While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Dima, it is certainly a fruit fly (Tephritidae), possibly a Euphrantini; may I please ask you for more detailed: a) head left strictly in profile and b) wing strictly dorsally (to show the subcostal vein)? Stacked pics are welcome.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
