Coenosia sp. - Muscidae (I think C. tigrina). Size is rather 5-7 mm.

Coenosia tigrina (Muscidae), unless it's really as big as you say  . Should be 4.5-7mm (front of face to end of abdomen).Oops, sorry Stephane, didn't see you coming! Edited by Stephen R on 26-05-2010 21:43 |

And you're measurements will be right-I'm not very good at judging sizes but you see he's less than the width of a blade of grass. |
