Is this Anthomyia monilis? It looks awfully like the one in the gallery, with its enfuscated wings and strong brown thoracic median stripe. Female, 3mm, from lowland central France (la Brenne), swept from the grass in a haymeadow, 8 July 2008. Susan R Walter attached the following image:  [82.96Kb] Susan |

Note that the central stripe in the scutum continues onto the scutellum; the male eyes are separated as in the female (this might be either) and the wing anal vein does not reach the wing margin. |
