No, it is Anthomyiidae.

thanks, I find those two families confusing but then I am only going by photos. I had this one as Coenosia tigrina but expect that is wrong too?

I think this latter image shows a Muscid, but not Coenosia and not even Coenosiinae.

First fly Nikita is correct . Anthomyiidae Second fly Muscidae Looks like Phaonia perhaps errans This is a big, bulky fly.Coenosiinae are much smaller. I will try to get back with a guess at the Anthomyiid and after a second look at cf.http://www.dipter...view&id=40 erransAnthomyyidae Look at the pic in the taxobox http://en.wikiped...thomyiidae Click to enlarge.Note the dorso-ventrally (see glossary) flattened abdomen and the "jizz" (also in glossary) head shape of the preoccupied male  Robert in less than sunny Ireland
