hi flyforum,

Last week Lars catched some flies for me with a electric! flycatcher(?)
One of the catched flies is this one.
Looks Muscidae to me (except the abdomen are quite elongated!)

If needed, I got some more views of this fly.

I can clearly see the anal vein running till the wing margin. I guess this is a male Hydrophoria lancifer.

Your right Stephane!

I had mixed feelings for Muscidae.., It got also something Anthomyiidae (abdomen and white face).
Male Hydrophoria lancifer it is!

greeting Robert
