Hello!

A rather light Muscid (I think) from 1st of December (northwest Germany) at a fence. Not too small (about 10 mm). Could it be Phaonia perdita?

I don't know, whether this is the same species (wing posture seems different). Unfortunately I don't remember, if it had the same size. :| (At least it was at the same time and location.)

Perhaps Hylemya vagans (8 - 11mm) ;)

Of course there were many Anthomyiids around at the same time, that I thought were Hylemya vagans/nigrimana. See my previous threads:

But those were considerably smaller (I had noted 6 mm). But I will change the subject accordingly.
