Weve had a chilly and foggy day in Vigo. Not much around, only this small fly gave me some work this afternoon. The specimen was about 6 yo 7 mm resting on top of a fallen eucaliptus bark in the forest floor.(piena & eucaliptus forest) Taken at Monte Alba - Vigo (Spain) at about 450 mts. Tahnks once again for your comments. Rafael Rafael Estevez attached the following image:  [146.11Kb] |

Anal veins don't reach the wing margin. That's why I told Muscidae. BUT... I can see, if I am not wrong, interfrontal crossed bristles.. it would be more Anthomyiidae, as there are few muscids with those bristles. Maybe you are right this time. |

Bare arista, small calypters, 3 post dc, spiny costa, 2+2 ks setae, hind tibia with such ad / pd configuration, long prealar, doesn't fit to any Muscidae. Thus I think Anthomyiidae (despite its Muscid look).

And the katepisternum has 2 anterior bristles and another 2 posterior bristles.. it would be nice if this was Lasiomma... |

Maybe if you have a picture that shows bottomside of scutellum; Anthomyidae have setae there. |

Thanks to all of you for your comments. This year I began collecting some specimes, precisely I caught this one. I will take some more pictures tonight and will revert. Rafael |

It's a female Anthomyiidae, probably or possibly a Delia species. I doubt if it can be identified from a photo, can't see enough details of the setae etc |

Found enough time today to take a couple of pistures of the dead specimen. This is a cropped image (20% of the whole frame). I hope it may be useful. Rafael Rafael Estevez attached the following image:  [125.68Kb] |
