Yesterday I photographed this small (appr. 4-5 mm) fly in our garden at Leerdam, Netherlands. I do not really have an idea about its identity. Could anyone help? The photos are of a rather poor quality, I'm afraid. Thanks in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [111.51Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Looks like Coenosiini tribe (Muscidae), probably Coenosia itself.

It is a problem without visible setae. It could be also Lispocephala? (L. erythrocera in the gallery looks similar in overall view). |

You are right, Martin. It is almost certainly Lispocephala erythrocera.

I first thought to Lispocephala, but since the mid and hind femora seemed orange to me, I fell back to Coenosia. But the season, and the posture speak more for Lispocephala, it's true. The picture fooled me. Stephane. |
