Dear forum,

in this thread:
http://www.dipter...read_id=32
I understand that e. g. the bristles on upper head are helpful to separate S, opaca from other species.
As these ocellar bristles are a bit visible on my pics, I dare to show that fly here.
Thorax did not appear shiny, neither "live" nor on pics, so maybe S. sexmaculata ist not likely?
What do you think? Thanks a lot in advance for taking a look at this.

Best regards, Thorsten

yes Sapromyza sp... but does has the "look and feel" of Sapromyza sexpunctata but one would need a specimen to be sure.

Thank you, Mark, for your answer!
Meanwhile I realized, when reading this thread:
http://www.dipter...d_id=19179,
that the position of ocellar bristles, which is relevant, cannot be seen well on my photos. So, I hope to keep in mind to catch the ocellar triangle better, when meeting such a fly nest time:-).

Best regards, Thorsten
