Small fly with prey taken Yesterday South coast UK sitting in a potentilla flower. Fly about 4mm body length. Assume it's a muscid ? Is the second shot taken previously the same species (body length 5mm). Thanks Brian V.   |

Both flys are Coenosia sp. The top one shows a female. The lower one a male. Could be the same species but difficult to be sure. Similar flies were recently identifid by me as C. nigridigitata (I hope the name is up to date). But there are several similar species.
