Maybe Muscidae??

That thing that looks like a Phaonia bristle could be something in the background (because is seems to continue on the other side of the tibia), so perhaps this is a Helina.

It looks very like Phaonia rufipalpis, but one picture is rarely sufficient for Muscidae (as for other families). Is the flagellomere yellow at base, is the prealar very short ?

Hello Sara, Stephen and Stephane,

I'm happy with your help, maybe I have to other pictures that may help. I hope so.

Regards,
Hedy

I can't see the "Phaonia bristle" on the left hind leg, so Stephen could be right with Helina. I can't conclude anything with these pictures.

Well, we not give up so easy eh.., but I have left one option with a "better" close-up of the hind leg...

I see a Phaonia bristle. Let's go for Phaonia sp.

Let's go for a Phaonia cf rufipalpis as it looks most like that than the other kinds...
Thanks Stephane for all your efforts!!
