Hello Forum,
again a fly from March 4th 2009. Is Phoridae right? Closer ID possible? Hagen, NRW, Germany, alder marshland, 175msm,
Best regards, Josef

No phorid. Looks like an calyptrate (Anthomyiidae?).

I changed the title to find an expert in Calyptrata, as Paul suggested. Josef

Hi!

What I think could be the same fly appeared here today in Ostwestfalen/Germany, too. It was last year (nearly the same time in early spring) identified in this forum as Lonchaeidae, possibly Dasiops sp.:

So, I ask for an expert in Lonchaeidae. Genus ID possible? Josef

This early in the season - Earomyia lonchaeioides.
