Hi, does anyone recognize this species? Using the key to genera in Gregor et al. (2002) I arrive at Musca (anepimeron haired, arista long plumose, bend of M1 angular, etc.), but it doesn't look like any species of Musca I'm familiar with.

Unevenly spaced stripes suggest the
Musca sorbens group.

Thank you John! I think it might be Musca crassirostris since the palpi are yellow. :)

Based on a quick look at a recent paper (
https://onlinelib.../mve.12339) the overall appearance is similar to
Musca crassirostris.

Yes, that's what I thought!
