I'm getting confused with this Drosophila, cross veins seems to be closed (a-cv and p-cv), eye light red/orange with hairs, no spots/stripes in the scutellum and mesonotum, arista with 6-7 long branches, anterior scutellars divergent, I can't identificate the abdominal bands. Long about 2-3 mm.
I found it on a trunk of a pear tree, below 100m.

Can someone please try to id it? :)

The candidates maybe are: D. melanogaster, D. histrio

Any help please?

Very hard to tell without any indication of abdominal pattern...

I thought with all the other keys it was a bit more "easier" to identificate, but yes, without the abdominal pattern there are only suppositions.

Thanks anyway Paul.
