Sticking my neck out a bit here, but I think it might have a posterodorsal bristle on the hind tibia (just visible in the top photo only), so it could be Phaonia sp

Hmm... I think this combination of bristles is Helina sp. You need someone more expert than me for this one really.

Hello Susan,

I'm afraid it is a so-called Muscidae spec. Thanks for your reactions.

Well, just be thankful it's robust enough to look fairly definitely Muscid (and venation and facial bristles suggest Muscid) so it is not possible Muscidae/possible Anthomyiidae. Wink
