If I'm not mistaken, here we could have a female of Azelia
It looks very simular to my A.triquetra i have (spots on abdomen and 1-2 av on hindtibia, but need to see the acrostichals to be sure.....

Hmmmm....interesting!
I don't see rows of setea on the hindtibia, and pitty we can't see if foretarsen have preapical spines (not sharp enough)
Feeling is A.triquetra male and female, but feelings are not enough..Grin
Maybe Stephane or Nikita could say more.....

At first: I put a warning signal on my computer, when you place a new thread.
WARNING....poor looking females are coming....WARNING

Second: I will give another try....just for you (saw your photo on the scoutbox and feel pity for you..)Shock

Proclinate orbital seta
Acrostichals before suture biserial , behind it with few small setulae between the rows
Just visible ...ad seta on midtibia.

Azelia sp for sure.
But species....I don't dare with these photos.

Dear Ms van Erkelens
Can I assume by the tone of your reply that you got out of bed...A. On the wrong side...or B. With a hangover again...or C. You have the Painters in.
Remind me to check the Periodic Tables next time I post a Female Fly on here again.
The part about "poor looking females coming" I will pass on, you must be mixing this up with some Adult Site you have been visiting, I don't wish to delve into what you get up to with your TeleFunken U47 in private. (Even Anal Jerks, nice Anagram of your name Pfft)
I thought the photo of my wife looked OK in Shoutbox, I haven't seen the Scoutbox Version.
I shall pass your message of pity on to her...that should cheer her up no end. Frown
