hello,
I found this fly today, 20-06...
At first I thought it was an easy ID because of the dominant four white spots on the thorax, but since I've noticed that it barely has any dorsal setae, I must admit that I don't have a clue..even which family it belongs to.
Anthomyiidae would be my first guess, but....
any help is very welcome
thanks in advance... Chris

ha..thanks a lot, Tony ... nice :)
edit: ...hmmm, the pictures in the gallery look kind of different to me...are those white spots variable?

It will depend on the sex of the specimen, the age of the specimen, and local variation as well. Yours does seem to be a well-marked individual, but within the species range I would say. Of course the photography (lighting, exposure, camera settings) will make a big difference too!

thanks for your additional explanations,Tony...and yes..it was bad light and windy weather, which leads to blurry pictures... Chris
