Hello,

Is it possible to say something about this Anthomyiidae ♂ which looks like a Delia? By consulting this document I cannot find any corresponding hairiness for the hind tibiae.

Impossible to determine the species or even the genus?

I know Anthomyiid better than average, less worse than necessary. Your fly has strong Delia"jizz".
However, to keep save my reputation I'd rather keep silence.
Sciomyzid, Muscid, Fanniid are wellcome...

For Anthomyiid there is only one expert in clear mind, still alive and with good knowledge, it is Verner Michelsen, the Dutch. Try to contact him.

I've just sent an email to Verner Michelsen with the photos and details of the specimen.
I'll share any feedback I receive from him here.
Thanks again for the suggestion!

No reply, unfortunately — so I think we’ll have to stick with Anthomyiidae.
