Thanks, I've seen a lot of Hylemya this year in my garden, but here the arista don't seem to be plumose, so it isn't Hylemya. What genus could it be ? |

Michael Ackland thinks it is a female of Botanophila fugax, because the acrostichal setae consist of one pair of strong setae before the suture, followed by only short hairlike acrostichals until the stronger prescutellar ones.
