Can anyone identify this fly; Muscidae I think, maybe Helina sp. Seems similar (to me...!) to a Helina impuncta shot I took last year, but is the mark on the head too red, rather than black, so maybe it's something else altogether? c 9mm 7.5.2010 Wiltshire, UK nick upton attached the following image:  [140.65Kb] Edited by nick upton on 26-06-2010 15:19 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

OK, many thanks again. Am still taking Anthmomyiidae for Muscidae as I'm not sure of the obvious differences... Male Anthomyiidae often seem to have very narrow abdomens, but not the females. I read that i ned to check if the M vain is straight and the anal vein long, so need to get clear views of those I guess.
