Looks like my Leucophora (Anthomyiidae) inhttp://www.dipter...post_92670. Regards, Sundew

I'll support that.
Definitely Leucophora sp. (female).
I would, however, be more reluctant to put a name on the species, but personata comes to mind. Perhaps because it's the only species I'm familiar with!

Regards,
Walther

Thank you very much Sundew and Walther! Genus was more than I bargained for and I'm happy to be right about the family for a change!

Cheers!
