Could you help me with ID's of this one: http://commons.wi...%C3%A4.jpg ? It was found near Isojärvi, Pomarkku, Finland, 22 May 2010. Edited by ChrisR on 15-06-2010 17:30 |

I would suggest Ephydridae or Sphaeroceridae based on the short body and the habitat (if it is a littoral one). But it is difficult to estimate the dimensional relations in this case - how big is an average fish eye compared with a fly?? |

Did we see the same thing ? It is a calliphorid (vein M is strongly bent).

I agree with Juergen ... it is a Pollenia.

Well, what about me, who thought it was something much smaller: I need another branch of dipterology than determining from pictures!! A bad excuse could be that fishing doesn't belong to my hobbies... |

Pollenia was my first thought too - but, as usual, these flies loose a lot of their golden hairs
