Came across this fly blowing a bubble on my greenhouse. As I took the first photo, it got a fright with the flash, and dropped the bubble onto the surface. Pic 1 top/bottom images. It then sucked in the bubble and cleaned up the area where the bubble had landed and then started blowing again, by this time being used to the flash going off on my camera Pic 2.
Is this one ID'able? Size <4mm ish.

Oh no.Shock..not ANOTHER one to give me grief, come on I'm not a well man. Don't suppose you know anything about Antho's? If you do, can you pass on some of your knowledge to Joke, if only out of kindness/sympathy...Pfft

My sister is "funshopping", so i will answer for her...Grin

As you know....female of Anthomyiidae is difficult..so not impossible, but i will give it a try....only because your name is Roger:
I think it is a Delia sp.
I will explane why i think it is a Delia sp. (otherwise Nikita get mad on me)
Hind tibia with a high pd on t3
No coloring in the legs and palpes, antennae,thorax and abdomen.
I think i can see a curved pv apical spur on fore tibia
Lower calypter not visible and upper one with some fringles

I don't dare to go further for a species level.
( if I'm right at all on Delia...Shock)

Your former employee
Joke

1. Funshopping..Shock..There is no such thing.
2. What if I changed my name to Hector??
3. Nikita is in Moscow, how much more mad can he get?
4. To a moron like me this all LOOKS plausible.
5. Do like those FRINGLES, get me every time. Pfft
6. Bottling out, huh.
7. That's why you are an ex-employee
8. Great first name, Psychic parents?
9. Even if this is not a (F) Delia sp. I am going to label it as such. Thanks for the time spent on it Joke Grin

Hector.
