Looking at the weather we have here, it is autumn already...so I think only the
Leucophora larvae are left, dreaming about spring.
It keys out to
Delia albula, but I have some doubt.
Just keep it again for me.

I collected Delia albula this week, I think this is one is not D. albula. Please post the result here, I'm curious for this one :)

Prealar seems absent, but I can't see if there is an av seta present or not on t2.
It has a similarity with
D. albula but this species don't have such dark vitta in female, and I even don't rule out
Botanophila... so I think I have to see this species in hand.
I'll let you know the result.
(or Ackland must recognize this species.....)

And
Leucophora also seems to fly in august to…..so John was right and it turned out to be
Leucophora grisella.
