Could you help me with ID's of this one:

It was found near Isojärvi, Pomarkku, Finland, 22 May 2010.

Anthomyiidae.

I would suggest Ephydridae or Sphaeroceridae based on the short body and the habitat (if it is a littoral one). But it is difficult to estimate the dimensional relations in this case - how big is an average fish eye compared with a fly??

Did we see the same thing ? It is a calliphorid (vein M is strongly bent).

That could also mean some muscids, of course, but I have been told you know a little about those, so I assume it isn't one after all. ;)

Hi!
Doesn't it look like the good old
Pollenia?

I agree with Juergen ... it is a
Pollenia.

Well, what about me, who thought it was something much smaller: I need another branch of dipterology than determining from pictures:o!!
A bad excuse could be that fishing doesn't belong to my hobbies...

Pollenia was my first thought too - but, as usual, these flies loose a lot of their golden hairs :)
