Indeed Anthomyiidae, but if it is indeed P. aestiva.
I don't see an av on t2 and the setae on the hindtibia I find a bit blur.
Do you have more photos from this fly?

I thought to see 3 ad on t3, but it is indeed probable 2 pd + 2 ad on the same level and 1 av, so Pegoplata.
If you have photos with a better view on the midtibia, to see if there is an av seta, than Stephen was right with P. aestiva.
If there is no av seta on t2, it is one of the other female Pegoplata species.

Just back from an emergency gall-bladder removal to find over 12 pages of Diptera adults to speed my recovery :D

I went for P. aestiva on the basis of the peristomal margin, but I agree that on this viewpoint the choice between 'strongly projecting' and 'not projecting' is a bit tricky.

Good recovery!|t

Sorry about that, Stephen. Hope you feel well soon and have a quick recovery! |t

And if you need some impossible Anthomyiidae to keep you entertained and help you to recover :D just let me know ;)

Joke, those drawings of chaetotaxy are superb to see the critical bristles |t Thank you so much for them |t
