Hi, I found this small fly probably laying eggs into a flower. (11.6.2021; 53.58451114462728, 9.834316230492263) The location is a small artificial dune with grey hair-grass, Jasione montana and of course Dianthus deltoides.
Is it possible to identify it?
Regards,
Jan

Female Anthomyiidae. Very difficult to ID from photos...

Well, the pictures show at least some features, but I based my hopes mostly on the oviposition. Laying eggs into Dianthus deltoides might narrow it down I guess. That is, if the ecology is known welll enough.
Let's see if I can manage to adapt the title a bit.
Regards, Jan

Looks like there is one more candidate to have a look at with regard to Anthomyiidae on dianthus. Yet it also no further than Anthomyiidae yet.

So double pull up.. I know Anthomyiidae tend to be difficult.
