Can't do the difference between Helina and Phaonia... But if I have to choose, it would be Helina. Right ? Thanks in advance

Don't think so. I think with that orange scutellum it's more likely to be Phaonia, but there are a couple of other Muscidae genera it could be too.

Stephane Yes, I was thinking Mydaea as a possibility. Susan |

I'm still beginner in Muscidae, it's just my favourite family of the moment, so a confirmation would have been welcome 
Stephane. |

Sorry Stephane - don't know enough myself to confirm but it was actually the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the picture, and that can be a good sign, if a bit jizzy for some

It certainly is very similar to M. corni. But for some strange reason I would still hesitate to name this a Mydaea. Somehow my feeling is that this fly belongs to Phaoniinae. Mydaea should have a shinier appearance.

If the count is correct, they are 3 people to name it Phaonia for 1 to Mydaea. Let's then go for Phaonia sp

If the count is correct, they are 3 people to name it Phaonia for 1 to Mydaea. Let's then go for Phaonia It is the case when 1 more than 3  We have 2 possibilities from 2 different subfamily Phaoniinae and Mydaeinae. Characters to separate this subfamilies are unvisible. But if Phaoniinae - than Ph.errans (5% Ph.valida), if Mydaeinae - M.corni. We can compare this two possible females. Scutellum of Ph.errans yellowish on tip and dusted on disk, disk of scutellum with stronger setae, abdomen rather greyish than yellowish dusted. So, female of Mydaea corni.
