Hello, this ~8mm fly is from last april from near Heinsberg (western germany). Can it be identified? Muscidae, Phaonia perhaps? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [42.71Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 02-08-2011 04:54 |

Looks like Helina evecta (or H. annosa - you need to see the hind femur to tell them apart). |

Hello Stephan, thanks you for your answer. Is the hind femur enough visible on this photo? Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [69.5Kb] |

What we can see is, I think, the tibia - but the critical feature is the ventral hairs on the femur, and I reckon we can see enough of them sticking out under the wing to say that this is H. evecta. Stephane will correct me if required  Stephen. |
