Hello,

can anything be said about this fly? I photographed it last july in Switzerland and wrote down an estimated size of 9mm.

Thanks,
Michael

Does noone have an idea? Is at least the family correct? Or is it Anthomyiidae?

Muscidae is correct. Helina or Phaonia, difficult to go further from this picture.

Ok, thank you, Stephane. It's difficult for me to know, whether the picture was just overlooked, or really nothing can be said.

I just found a slightly different perspective, where the abdomen is a bit better to see. Can now Helina or Phaonia be decided?
