Hi, like i have told you in my last post i was for couple of days in the field in the Retezat National Park. and made some picture of flies. and... this small tachinid (around 4-5mm) was very abundent (i have seen hundred) on large leaves of different plants (Rumex, Arctium, Petasites). one observation (i think not seen in the photos) is that the wings are at least in the basal half smoky (maybe this helps). thanks in advance, cosmln cosmln attached the following image:  [95.1Kb] Edited by cosmln on 22-08-2007 14:34 Cosmin-Ovidiu Manci biology & photography ********************** http://cosmln.nature4stock.com - cosmln's place http://dragonfly.nature4stock.com - Dragonflies of Romania http://insects.nature4stock.com - just insects http://mybiosis.org/nature/portal.php?pagename=firstpage - a romanian flora & fauna database and not only ********************** DSLR Collecting Saves Lives! ********************** " Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money can not be eaten.

First, let's fix the family. It doesn't look like a Tachinid, and moreover, Tachinidae are hardly ever really numerous. Sounds like Muscidae ... ? Theo |

Not Hebecnema (H. is less robust fly with black shining body). It is Anthomyiidae, sorry I can't say more. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I contradict everyone and propose a new name (again, sigh): smallish, rather robust, clearly darkened wings sounds like a male Spilogina (Muscidae).
