Hello,

this female measured at least 12 mm, considerably larger than the also present Phaonia tuguriorum. Could it bei Phaonia valida? At fruit bait in our courtyard (northwest Germany).

Hallo Jürgen, the apical part of M1 is distinctly curved: P. valida, I think.
from Gregor et al (2016): Manual CE Muscidae
