Hi,
The day before yesterday I spotted this Drosophila in our flat in Southwestern Germany. With two keys I arrived at D. kuntzei (8 rows of acrostichal hairs, all tibiae with dorsal preapical bristle, stronger costal fringe extending about half-way along the section between veins R2+3 and R4+5, both crossveins distinctly clouded, no spine row on front femur, shape of tergite spots). A confirmation or correction would be nice. Thanks in advance!

Some more details. It is a female, right?
