Hi,
This evening I watched a couple of Muscids (at least I hope they are not Anthomyiids!) recalling Coenosia a bit. The thorax bristles, however, are different. The arista is plumose.
Is ID possible? Many thanks, Sundew

The female was much lighter in colour than the male.

I'd say it is Helina reversio

Fine - a new Helina species for me! Thanks, Nikita.
