consulting the following material:
Lindner Der Fliegen der Palaearktischen Region Band 2
63b. Muscidae, Tafel 1 - figure 8

I think that the genitalia resembles the drawing of Fannia canicularis variation (pubescens from Stein).

what is the status of this variation? this was debated over 50 years ago. Certainly something has changed by now, yes? I understand that a few dipterists have discussed this species and conclude that it is a variation of Fannia canicularis. Hennig mentions that this variation has no yellow on the tergites. Could this be the variation?
