Am I correct with Myospila? I'm working without a key, just finding scraps of info here and there, checking the gallery and previous posts. If I'm on the right lines then there are only 2 spp. in Britain - meditabunda and bimaculata (I get the impression this is the rarer of the two). Any hints on how to separate the two?

Myospila is correct. I have doubts that bimaculata is a true species, not a synonym of meditabunda. Anyway your fly has ad on t2 so it is meditabunda. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
