Muscidae, maybe a female Mydaea with broadened palpi... No other larger pictures ?

Here's a closer crop of it - I hope this may make it easier to ID. Alan Watson Featherstone attached the following image:  [190.35Kb] |

Actually palpi are not broadened, it's just proboscis. I have the impression that there is a posterodorsal on hind tibia (Unless it is a mark on the leaf), so I'd say Phaonia sp. It's the more that I can say, sorry. Stephane. |
