When you do not indicate the species, I guess this missing data. I have other photos. Do any concrete details that must be known.? Best regards! |

It looks as if the lateral spots on the thorax are separated, which might suggest A. pluvialis. A lateral view could confirm this. A. quinquemaculata is another possibility. Check Forum search (especially Michael Ackland's answers) to see how tricky these are to identify from photos - it's all guesswork unless you have the genitalia under the microscope

On this occasion, the insect flew, before taking pictures of its sides. From now on, I will seek always start taking pictures side ... If I have another encounter with this variety of flies, I will consider your suggestion for you to look under a microscope. Edit the title to try to draw the attention of Michael Ackland's Best Regards |
