As this is a male, I don't think they are very large. They are out from tha acetone bath now but I don't have time before tomorrow for checking. This was the only male I got. All were flying very low over hot sand. Jari |

It looks like Bellardia a bit, but the third antennal segment is too long. Let's start with the basics: are we sure it is not a Muscid (I do agree, it looks very Calliphoridae-like) Theo |

Not a muscid : we can see the row of meral bristles.

Ok, I had a closer look now. Theo, are You thinkin Bellardia pubicornis ? It may be possible. Jari Edit: Anyway as we have only three founds in Finland and all from very North Lappland, I believe we are lookin at dark Melinda gentilis again. It seems to have a great variation with colous.

I was thinking Onesia sepulchralis, due to the elongated antenna. If I'm not misjudging the pic, I see IA 1+2, so it must be Bellardia. From that point on, you are on your own. Theo |

Believe me these are sometimes tricky for novices like me  As the stem vein is bare above and lover calypter as well there are not too many choices with Calliphorinae. The only species especially mentioned in my book is Bellardia pubicornis. Well, we have loong dark winter to come with all these to study. Just now we have very warm and nice weather and a lot of interesting flies flying. A lot of Tachinidae in my traps  Jari |
