Phasia sp. (pusilla or barbifrons) ... I don't think more can be said without a look at the halteres and the head

The frons looks quite silvery which would suggest P.pusilla but I'd always like a closer look to be sure

It is very difficult to see. On the left side, I think you see at least 2 clearcut rows of bristles, which would make it barbifrons. Which is common now in this time of year Theo |
