Hi, Some days ago I took photos of this fly that, by habit, I considered a member of the Scathophagidae. Am I right, and can be said more? To show all the leg bristles as clearly as possible, I post a series of pics. Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [151.58Kb] |

Many thanks, Nikita - Trichopalpus sounds fine with 4 bristles on scutellum, however, the leg colour does not fit T. fraternus. What about T. punctipes? May be, Stephane can help... |

It is Scathophagidae and I'm quite sure it is Chaetosa punctipes.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Fine, thanks! Which is the accepted genus name? In our gallery, it is Trichopalpus punctipes. |
