and they are, Stephen! ;) I'm only saying that it is not a family properly adequate to ID only from the photos. As you know with anthomyiids genitalia must be checked in most of the cases. ;)

Correct the Hylemya cf. vagans ? or Stephen R identified with certainty?

I was just telling that in many cases this is true for Anthomyiids (needs genitalia). However I was no arguing that Stephen could be wrong in this case.

Jorge is right that many Anthomyiidae are not identifiable from photos especially if, like this one, they are female. But this is a lucky exception - there are not many genera with a plumose arista, and once you have arrived at Hylemya (female), the leg colours are enough to indicate
H.vagans with reasonable probability.
