I think so.
Funny that two Czechs correspond in English. I do not hesitate...

Ovipositor is not Piophilidae like, I think, nor the darkening in the wing tip. Another shot in cleaner liquid?

Thank you Paul. Unfortunately, I am not able to take more pics as the fly is back in the vial and I have hundreds of vials with thousands of flies. What other family would you be inclined to believe it belongs to?

I agree that some characters are weird for Piophilidae. Rigorous determination is not possible, stil I have another guess: Acartophthalmus (bicolor?). What do you mean, Paul?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
