An Anthomyiid or a Muscid? Does someone have any idea on the genus?

The first photo suggests that the arista is plumose? If so it is Hylemya, and with yellow tibia it is Hylemya urbica Wulp female
I might come back on the previous two anthos, they are interesting, but I need some time to check on them

I think the arista is plumose indeed.

I think I found another fly belonging to this species. Another female I assume.

In the female of urbica the yellowish tibiae can vary from very indistinct and only on the hind tibia, to both mid and hind femora more extensive. In the latter case it approaches the female of Hylemya vagans, and they can be difficult to separate, The male of H. urbica often has entirely black tibiae, and so you have to look at the genitalia to separate it from H. variata which is quite different. If anyone is interested i will post figs of the two genitalia as jpeg files, which might come out clearlt.

Thx Michael for the explanation. We are interested in the figure. I hope I posted some images of the male in another thread (but I may be completely wrong.)
