Hello Flyforum, This fly got my attention because of it's short backbody which it's banded on the abdomen. The backbody is short if you compare it with the long wings.. The wing got quite straight horizontal veins. Dark hairs are present over it's body everywere, but it looks like if there are also blond hairs.. Third leg seems a bit long.. size ~7 mm place: Amsterdam Woodforest What kind of fly is this?

I'd make it Muscidae.

For me, it has the lean and hungry look of Anthomyiidae, but I'm not very experienced.

Robert Just had a thought  I wonder if this is Phaonia canescens? A Muscid, not an Antho - should have just listened to Paul in the first place

Probably an Anthomyiid. Definitely not Phaonia (sorry). PS. Fixed the 2nd sentence. Maybe I should read my own comments before posting  I hope it makes perfect sense now after I corerectt6ed the mitskates.

So I probably should have listened to myself the first time? Crikey! [FYI: an Australian expression indicating surprise]  Not entirely sure what you meant about Phaonia though - renegade typing finger? - couldn't work it out.

Looks like one of the small Botanophila's (laterella, dissecta, phrenione or lobata?) feeding as larva on Epichlo fungus infesting Dactylis glomerata and other grasses. But then the size is less than 5mm... verner |
