hi flyforum,
This early spring Anthomyiidae looks Egle ciliata to me.
size: ~4mm
Is Egle ciliata correct?
greeting, Robert

Not ciliata Robert- not hairy enough and as far as I can see, only 3 post dc setae. It's a female and so impossible to identify from a photo.

It is an Egle sp. The smaller species are difficult to identify even with a specimen, need to look at small characters and even dissect the ovipositor.
