I would have rather said that this is around female Phaonia, Muscidae.

Hello,

At first I thought also it could by a Phaonia, but David added another photo in the dutch forum for fly's, and then you can see clearly 3+3 acrostichals......and that's, for so far as I know, characteristic for Polietes.

And I have to look, if there is a Phaonia whit also 3+3 acrostichals, and whit the same colour of this fly?.
(the only one, whit a "general look" I can think of is Phaonia trimaculata, but I don't see there the characteristic spots on the scutellum)
But I'm not an expert, so I could be wrong.....Grin

Greatings Joke
