 The anal vein is long (see the upper picture), so that I would say Anthomyiidae.

Grin I didn't see that coming, but yes, you are right.
I will consult Joke van Erkelens' Anthomyiidae for DUMMIES, but being a female.... awkward

So, now we are back to my fiest hunch, Muscidae. Grin Muscidae, Fannidae, Anthomyiidae...

From the same area I have photos of Lispocephala brachialis.

Thanks, John!!! TumbsUp

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.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
