Anthomyiidae. Looks like Egle, Has it got 4 post-sutural dorsocentral setae?

Not quite sure I understand your question, so I'm attaching here the binocular view of the postsutural area, with a lot of setae. This picture has been taken from another specimen caught the same day and which I believe is the same specie (see next pic)

Yes, 4 pdc. Joke may be able to tell you whether it's E. ciliata or E. brevicornis. Usually seems to be the first :)

Based on the lenght of the haustellum i would say Egle ciliata....
