Hello, this is about 7 mm long flies I shot a few days ago on horse dung. Is it possible to identify the species?
Thanks and best wishes, Frank

I would guess
P. lardarius. (It doesn't look like
domitor, no posterior setae on t1 (
steinii) and the anterior spiracle and front of head are greyish, not yellowish (
meridionalis).)
