Ummm... To pin a fly, one needs pins, to dry a fly one needs a drier, to label a fly one needs a labeler, to identify a fly... one needs a specialist in each particular taxon, a family or even a genus, that is why it is better not to mess up... Cool

Dear Nosferatumyia,
Firstly, thanks for your advice.
In this thread, you considered No. 10 as Tephritidae: Galbifascia probably sexpunctata. But I didn't lookup correlative references and figures on the Internet.
