Hi, this is the last one from last summer. An Anthomyiidae again I believe. Loviisa, Finland 2.7.2008.

I don't know this chaetotaxy from Muscidae legs. I think it is an Anthomyiidae, and it looks well to this one.
Just a guess...

What about Zaphne divisa - very phaonia-looking Anthomyiid

Hi, maybe we are getting closer :) I must change the name once more.

It is not Hydrophoria divisa, which does not have an anteroventral setae on mid tibia, and yellowish tibiae. Presumably the whitish horizontal line on fore tibia is a posteroventral bristle catching the light, in which case I know of no anthomyiid with this very long bristle; likewise the long posterior seta on hind tibia is unusual.

Ok, thank You. Maybe I will add this picture to the endless "strange creatures" list. As far the specimen is not collected and I have only this picture, it may be impossible to get further. Nice looking fly anyway :)
