 Yes, Copromyzinae - looks like Copromyza stercoraria; do you have a clearer shot of the scutellum?

 Still hard to see but if there are two pairs of scutellar bristles with several pairs of finer hairs between them then ok for C. stercoraria

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.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

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.
