Norway, 31.07.09, about 5mm

Maybe someone recognize the pics, they were posted in another thread a while back together with an Anthomyiidae. And Jorge suggested "Actia sp. or similar"

Yes, it is Actia

You can see the setulae on veins nicely.
However, I just can't see whether the cubital vein is bare or setulose. If it is bare, it is A. infantula.

Thanks, looking at the original pic I think it looks setulose, but it's not good enough to say for certain.

Am I looking at the right vein?

yes, thank you, those are the setulae I was looking for.

With our features visible, it is the female of crassicornis
