I'm wondering if it might be something like Phaonia angelicae. I can't see the anal vein clearly reaching the wing edge, and there seems to be a single strong pd on t3.

It doesn't look like P. angelicae to me and as far as I know, it's not a Belgian species, but I'm an absolute amateur. Anyway, thanks for your response!

So am I :D The difference is, you are right and I am wrong. Apart from anything else, P. angelicae should have 2+4 dc.

P. angelicae is abundant here in northwest Germany, so I think it should occur in Belgium, too. But not at this time of the year. It is mostly a summer species here, seldom occuring before june. And you're right: it also does not look like P. angelicae. But I can't say, what else it is (also pure amateur...).

I've just seen the rest of the bristles in the first photo (right hind tibia) :o I think it must be Hylemya after all. That's what comes from looking at the bristles and not the fly :|

Thanks Stephen and Juergen. I'll add 'Hylemya' to the title to attract some experts (Joke, where are you?)...

My thought would be Hylemya too. It is at least Anthomyiidae:)

Closer ID than Hylemya possible?
