Hello,

I photographed these flies on Sargassum on the shore in Kendwa, Zanzibar (Tanzania), on February 21st 2023. I think they may be Ephydridae, but I'm not completely sure. Is it possible to identify their genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Very long anal vein excludes Ephydridae. Perhaps a Scaptodrosophila.
