Hello,

I photographed this fly on the seashore in Balaclava, Mauritius, on April 21st 2024. I think it is an Ephydridae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

This is a species of Hecamede. As far as I am aware, the only Hecamede recorded from Mauritius is H. granifera.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
