Thanks once more, Nikita!! Smile TumbsUp

There I go again, mistaking Muscidae and Anthomyiidae Angry awkward

It was pretty big for Anthomyiidae (I would have not guessed). The size of Helina evecta more or less, if it helps.

I am pretty convince now that this is indeed Hylemya. Thanks again, Nikita Wink

Only 4 species are found in mainland Spain:

nigrimana
urbica
vagans
variata

Any chance to get the species? Thanks!!
