Hello, cosmln!

Calyptrate fly (see photo 3), so no Heleomyzid. I suppose Scatophaga sp. (lutaria?).


P.S.: More often than in the past I read Scathophagidae instead of Scatophagidae. But wouldn't be the latter be more correct (meaning "shit eater" of course...)?

Heleomyzidae, tribe Heleomyzini, probably 2 prosternal bristles and , if yes so should be a female of genus Gymnomus Lw Pfft.

Scathophagidae is based on the original spelling and, even though it may be incorrrect spelling language-wise, it is correct spelling according to the rules of zoological nomenclature.
