The chaetotaxy isn't very visible, but I think it's an Anthomyiidae.

Thanks Stephan!

I'm not sure about the chaetotaxy, because i don't see the strong seta at lower base of first tarsomere (hind leg).
And A1+CuA2 is not reaching wing margin.

It is not good visible, but it seems to have 2pd +2ad + 1av on the hindtibia.....if so, it could be Mycophaga testacea.
The thorax looks greasy and could be the reason of the dark colouring.
Check if there are some fine hairs on the radial node and if the arista is haired..

Be careful Joke, the fly is from Colombia. What do we know about colombian muscid / anthomyid ? Of course, there are no palaearctic Muscidae with such combination (several pd on hind tibia + yellow abdomen), but it is possible for neotropical ones.
Stephane.

I agree with you Stephane, to be careful with species from Colombia, but there was no place and date mentioned in this thread.....so how could I knowWink
But...nevertheless, I stil like to see the chaetotaxy of the legs.

Arista pubesent, hindtibia with 2pd + 2ad + 1av, yellow abdomen and yellow legs……
Indeed Anthomyiidae, most probable within Pegomyini.
As Stephane already said, many flies of the Neotropical region are still not widely known.
If you want to know more, you need to collect a male specimen and have a look at the genitals.

Succes,
Joke

I suspect Emmesomyia or Taeniomyia (considered a single genus by Griffiths but not Michelsen).

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
