i think the ptilinum didn't close well... It happens sometimes. |

Thanks Ruud, so no sickness... I thought the Ptilinum is retracted before the fly starts flying around going for a meal. Seems I've been wrong... Could the species be Conops flavipes? Best greetings Rupert |

yes, though I'd first like to see the sides of the thorax first.

Thanks again. Unfortunately this is the only picture of it that I have, so I will take it with cf.
