Taken in the mountains of Madrid on the 6th August 2011. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

I wonder if this is a teneral (= freshly emerged) one - the frons is so broad, and the silvery colour may change. I once was vexed by a Lucilia (http://www.dipter...ad_id=7780)...

---

OMG! That is certainly a possibility I didn't think about!

Checked your link and I am astonished. I would have been fooled completely. I would have never guessed that was a Lucilia! :S :S

Always learning something ;)

Thanks a lot for your input, Sundew! Let's see if somebody can confirm it is a teneral something or a Muscidae indeed :)

---

This forum is great for quick and reliable learning. I love it :D.

---

I think this is Musca sp. m vein is not strongly bent as in Calliphoridae. It is a female Musca sp.

---

Sundew, sure this is exactly what you were talking about in your previous post ;)

Thanks a lot, Jorge! :)

---

also there are no strong ac bristles on scutum. So it cannot be a Lucilia. I'd be very surprised if it was one...
Looks like Musca sorbens female...

---

Jorge, I think Sundew was meaning that there was a chance that it is a freshy emerged 'something' ;) not exactly a Lucilia. The link was just an example of how deceiving freshly emerged specimens can be. Well, at least that is what I understood ;)

And thanks for the Musca sorbens ID ;)

---

I know, Piluca. I was just remarking this is not a Lucilia.. not more. :)
And, yes sometimes it can be deceiving.

---

Sorry, Jorge. I am afraid I misunderstood your comment :o All is clear now ;) ;) :D

---

I agree with Musca sp.

---

Thanks, Stephane!! :)
