Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Drosophila cf. melanogaster?

Hi,
Here come Drosophila females and males from Rudolstadt, Thuringia, seen some weeks ago. They gathered at a banana. Unfortunately, the fore feet characters of the male cannot be clearly seen (they were so small!). So can we overcome the "cf." or not?
Many thanks, Sundew

Below the couple there is the male.

This is the female.

The above images do not contain enough info to rule out D. simulans.

I might have guessed it... How often did you already make this statement in the history of the forum? Thanks for your patience!
