Hi.
As a newcomer to dipterids, this is my first post and I've started keying out some flies from the moth trap to family level. This seems to be Muscidae but I wondered if anyone can get me any further please? Or for that matter confirm the family!
many thanks in advance and apologies for the start of what will be another long learning curve..
Best wishes
Jonathan

Thanks Stephane- that was very fast! I thought it might be a
Phaonia species but at least the family was right. Lots of work for me to do!
