Hi,
Some days ago I took photos of this fly that, by habit, I considered a member of the Scathophagidae. Am I right, and can be said more?
To show all the leg bristles as clearly as possible, I post a series of pics.
Thanks for help, Sundew

Trichopalpus fraternus, I think

Many thanks, Nikita -
Trichopalpus sounds fine with 4 bristles on scutellum, however, the leg colour does not fit
T. fraternus. What about
T. punctipes? May be, Stephane can help...

It is Scathophagidae and I'm quite sure it is Chaetosa punctipes.

Fine, thanks! Which is the accepted genus name? In our gallery, it is
Trichopalpus punctipes.
