hi flyforum,

First reaction was elongated Phaonia (some Phaonia with long legs, thorax and wings?).
Looking more to the picture I am thinking of Thricops sp. (white face? with long vibresse?) The arista is plumose. The wings got some colouring; braun/yellowish

On one of my pictures I can see that the end of the abdomen is a bit white(whitish)..

There are some characteristics which don't fit much with Anthomyidae;

nicely curved DM-Cu
arista plumose
size of the fly ~1cm


there are exceptions of course, but Anthomyidae could surpise me
or is it Pegomya ? Wink

thank you Nikita and Joke for your reaction,

I am always strugling with these Pegomya sp., it are big Anthomyidae sp. and they mislead me many timesShock
