Can anyone identify this fly, about 4-5mm in length, photographed feeding today on ox-eye daisies in the West Midlands of the UK? I have another couple of pics which I will post ... or attempt to, anyway!

Anthomyiidae. Very difficult to give a genus or species name..... From what i can see, most probable a Botanophila / Delia sp. And the females of Botanophila and Delia are all very simular to each other, then you need very sharp photos....and even than it will be difficult, if not impossible...(from photos) Joke |
