Hello, this is about 7 mm long flies I shot a few days ago on horse dung. Is it possible to identify the species? Thanks and best wishes, Frank FrankH attached the following image:  [72.39Kb] |

I would guess P. lardarius. (It doesn't look like domitor, no posterior setae on t1 (steinii) and the anterior spiracle and front of head are greyish, not yellowish (meridionalis).) |
