Hi, I keyed this one to Admontia blanda but I suspect it is incorrect. The fly is from central Sweden (southern Dalarna) and was captured the third of July. Would be grateful for some help.

Yes (you are wrong). Clearly, a male of the Exorista rustica group. You overlooked, somehow, the strong appendix to bend of vein M.

Thank you Theo! The inner area of lobes of sternite 5 is covered to the edge with yellow pubescence which makes it a Exorista rustica. (Strange that I missed the appendix of the m-vein).

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.
