Hello, Beside the small grey flies I have difficulties with the small yellow flies. Can this be a Scathophagid? Seen in Berlin in October. Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [152.77Kb] Edited by Sundew on 02-03-2008 23:07 |

absent of strong bristles on scutum! And the lateral face is really dryomyzid! St?phane is completely right in this one!

I'm sorry, my first headline should have been be Scathophagidae instead of Sarcophagidae; this was a mix-up. However, Dryomyzidae is much better, this family was still missing in my collection. Many thanks for supplying the important characters. So it may be Dryomyza flaveola, I suppose? Sundew |

Put only Dryomyza. This I have sure.  Dryomzyid is so easy to ID. I forgot totally see the profile of the head. It is unmistakable! See the head's profile of a dryomyzid and scathophagid aNnd you will notice the difference.  |

I'd say Dryomyza flaveola, waiting for some confirmation.
