 Hi, does anyone recognize this species? Using the key to genera in Gregor et al. (2002) I arrive at Musca (anepimeron haired, arista long plumose, bend of M1 angular, etc.), but it doesn't look like any species of Musca I'm familiar with.

 Unevenly spaced stripes suggest the Musca sorbens group.

 Thank you John! I think it might be Musca crassirostris since the palpi are yellow. Smile

 Based on a quick look at a recent paper (https://onlinelib.../mve.12339) the overall appearance is similar to Musca crassirostris.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

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.
