Hello Michael! I think it is an Anthomyiid fly. this species (or very similar to that) also occur by the dozen in Hungary but nobody could help me with the genus so far. But it is true that I do not know how many similar species are exist in Europe. Greetings, Tomi |

Hello. I compared some older threads with Anthomyiidae. Could this be something from genus Lasiomma? Michael |

I can''t really see any useful characters, but a guess might be Delia radicum L. male. Under the wing on the right there be some dense setae (on the hind femur at the base; this is a character of radicum (male). Also there appear to be no anterodorsal setae on the middle tibia. D. radicum is a pest of Brassicae, and appears in large numbers. Catch some and photograph the hind femora Michael |

I made some new pictures today. Perhaps now some characters can be seen? Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [54.27Kb] |

It is Delia radicum L. The rather dense setae and hairs on the basal half of the hind femur (which are now clearly visible) are longer towards the base, and become more dense there. Also as I suspected the mid tibia has no ad seta, and the acrostichal setae are very short. Can you alter the subject to Delia radicum, saves me time re-opening the thread? |

I think this was my first anthomyiid, where the pictures were enough for an identification. Thank you very much for this. I will upload the two pictures to the gallery. Michael |
