7mm, Clitheroe UK, 2 July 2011
Last June I had a male P. discrepans (
http://www.dipter...d_id=39015). This fly from a month later has similar venation but the parafrontal is much wider. Could it be a female of the same species?

Stephen, you missed the right turn.
It is a female Musca domestica !

R4+5 and M meet. How common is that in
Musca domestica wings?

This is not a Muscidae.
Phyto was a good suggestion to me.

It is nice to see another pitfall. ;) Phyto is very likely the right genus.

Yes, Musca it is not, indeed, missed the stalk.
It should be Phyto but it does not look familiar.
I have little experience with discrepans / adolescens
It is clearly not Ph. melanocephala.
