Hi,

Unfortunately I only have bad pictures. Can the genus or species of this fly still be determined?

Greetings,
Marion

I would think Spelobia; there are a few with yellow faces so not easy from this, if the thorax is as shiny as it seems then maybe S. belanica? That is a just a thought, we really need to see the setae on the mid tibia to be more certain.

Thanks, daveb21.
I looked again for the pictures. The setae on the mid tibia are not visible. The thorax was grey.

Greetings, Marion
