Hello, I photographed this fly in the Lecceta di Torino di Sangro Nature Reserve (CH), Italy, 60m a.s.l. on October 17th 2024. I think it is a Drosophilidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species based on these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [288.77Kb] Edited by ESant on 04-05-2025 15:48 |

I think it is Hirtodrosophila cameraria, common in Italy. |

I think this is Drosophila testacea. I think I can see the pre-sutural hairs, and to me the overall shape looks wrong for H. cameraria. |

Yes, now I recognize the presutural acrostichals. D. testacea is correct. The darkening of medioapical pert of mesonotum indeed resembles that of H.cameraria, but it is not so important. |
