It's a Muscidae indeed, but a female. This is an Helina sp., probably the common Helina reversio, but reliable ID from pictures are difficult for this genus.

Thanks Stephane: it keys out to the H. duplicata/communis couplet in Fonseca. According to NBN, both are synonyms of H. reversio. Thanks again, Malcolm Edited by bioimages on 03-07-2011 21:44 |
