Muscidae with some wing veins infuscated found at home (february the 7th 2016, IBERIA: Girona: Beuda: 400 masl)

And getting very fustrated :(:after following Séguy and Nearctic diptera, ....

What I did wrong?:|

Lispe? :(Phaonia? :(Helina? :( Nothing fits well enough

I made a nice collage:P, although resolution may fail,...

NOTE: The last two pictures of the collage have an error of interpretation

Rafael,
I think your mistake come from the pd on t3 : they are actually ad (an ad are actually av).
Try to see if you can find some small setulae under scutellum as well as small setulae on meron : if, so, it is Helina evecta.

I add the picture af the hind leg corrected

Anyway I think Séguy must be obsolete (I got Phaonia candicans)

Rafael, I can see other little mistakes on your montage : the seta pointed in yellow is not the supra-alar, but the pre-alar, and it is not the katepimeron but the katepisternum.

Thanks for correcting. I hope in the future my montage can be useful (specially if it's correct) for somebody else.

The montage of Helina evecta female at full resolution:

I wrote the anatomical parts following the tachinid mosch web site:
http://www.tachinidae.eu/definition/definition.htm#
But I see it is a bit simplified

Best wishes

Rafael
