This fly was seen resting in the wall inside home:

- Locality: Iberian Peninsula: Catalonia: Girona province: Beuda: 31 T DG77, at 400 masl
- Habitat: inside house in an environment of stone oak Quercus ilex wood with crops
- Date: 04/04/2014
- Size: 5,5 mm
- Sex: female


In the picture below it is shown the used features following the keys of Séguy (1923, Faune de France) and partly D'Assis Fonseca (1968, British Muscidae):

- Frons at vertex broader than an eye (frons width: 30/20 mm; eye width: 24/20 mm)
- The lowermost setulae on facial orbits not reaching insertion of arista level
- Abdomen entirely black
- Legs completely black
- Mid tibia without internal setae (?)
- Mid tibia with two bristles on posterodorsal surface (?)
- Hind tibia with several internal setae (?, very short, ?)

Following Seguy it's a clear F. armata, but when I try to follow D'Assis Fonseca, I can't get clear with the different kinds of bristles, ...

So, which species is?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael
