Don't know Frown. Seems to have a red/yellow tip on scutellum which M.levida has. Muscids are a bit of a black art to me Frown.

Unsureness is a very respectable condition Grin The shape of the veins at the tip of the wing is what gave me the idea.

Yes, but Myospila meditabunda have the same shape, but I don't think it is that one...I hope.

Frontal vitta to broad for Muscina.
I also think Myospila.
But if it is M.meditabunda....?
