Hello,

A Heleomyzidae found in North of France, at Oxelaere, the 19 September 2021, feeding on honeydew from Eucallipterus tiliae, on a Tilia sp. leaves, in a public garden
I think it is a female Trixoscelis sp. but I am not sure between T. canescens, T. frontalis and T. similis ?
(Not visible on the pictures is the abdomen becoming more darker in a line in the center)

Yes, either of the three species (difficult to ID).
