Hello,

I found this specimen May 09, in my garden, sunbathing on a camellia around 17:30 between some Hylemya vagans, Hylemya nigrimana and Calliphora vicina.
Dorsal side of radicubital node is bare, no strong pd on the distal third of hind tibia, no seta on the inner posterior margin of hind coxa.
I think it's a Helina specie but I found nothing !

side view (length : about 8mm)
