 Hello,
this fly ( length about 2,8 mm.) found on 06 December in the green house of the (urban) garden was identified as Medetera sp. by the team of the forum "le monde des insectes".

Locality : Luçon (85400) near La Rochelle, west of France.

Is it possible to get species with these pictures ?

Thank you by advance for your help.

Best regards.

Christian

 M. truncorum species group.
If possible, give lateral and ventral photos of hypopygium.

 Hello,
Thank you very much both for your prompt answer.

As requested by Igor, here is a ventral view (I presume) and a lateral view of the hypoppygium.

Hopefully it will be possible to get species with these pictures.

Best regards.
