Is this Anthomyia monilis? It looks awfully like the one in the gallery, with its enfuscated wings and strong brown thoracic median stripe.

Female, 3mm, from lowland central France (la Brenne), swept from the grass in a haymeadow, 8 July 2008.

Bravo, Susan!
Yes, it is.

I remember well this one, introduced by Kahis... ;)

Thanks guys:) An Anthomyid that looks like a muscid that turns out to be one of the most distinctive and easy to ID anthomyids of all ;)

I wanted to say :
It was Here. ;)

Note that the central stripe in the scutum continues onto the scutellum; the male eyes are separated as in the female (this might be either) and the wing anal vein does not reach the wing margin.
