Hi Tomi, You were asking for ideas  ! Well the first is to change the title so you thread will get the attention of the people working on calyptrates. The second idea is: might this fly belong to the family Sarcophagidae??

Wing venation is off for Sarcophagidae. Maybe Anthomyiidae? Leucophora?

This is the same fly that I posted a year ago. I am interested to see, if Michael knows the answer.

Anthomyiidae. I agree with Hydrophoria. Let's go wait for Ackland.  |

Probably a female Leucophora species. The wide parafacials and parafrontals and pale grey dusting point to this. There are a few Delia species with similar heads, but these are generaly found in sandy places. I can't offer a definite identification without more bristles being visible. It's not a Hydrophoria |

I could add that the frontal width (distance between eyes) in female Leucophora) is often less than normal, due to the larger eyes; an adaptation caused by the female entering bee burrows to lay eggs, the larvae feeding on food collected for the bee larvae. On the other hand the males often have the eye margins not touching on frons as in many other Anthomyiidae. |
