Hi, Two days ago I came across this handsome fly. As to thorax setae and wing venation it should be an Anthomyiid, so I thought of a Leucophora. Can this be confirmed? In the gallery, there are only pictures of dead ones that, with legs dangling, give a very different impression. My fly sat like a Pollenia. The arista isn't feathery. Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [136.62Kb] |

it certainly looks like Leucophora. For some images of life speciems, see e.g. http://corzonneveld.nl/diptera/Calyptratae/Anthomyiidae.php
Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |
