I do insist on Polietes.
What can we see for sure on this image -
1. Very hairy eyes
2. Strong postsutural ac (3)
3. M not curved
4. Fly is big
Michael, with such a hairy eyes it can't be Limnophora or similar. Nor 3 strong post ac.
Stephane, with 3 post ac it can't be Phaonia or Helina
So, Muscinae
It isn't Azeliini, ok?
So, Muscini
So, with not curved M - Polietes.
If you examin Polietes under this point with strong light, the thorastic and abdominal pattern will be similar.
