Dear forum, I took this picture today in my glasshouse. Is Anthomyiidae correct and can it be further identified from this picture? Best regards, Niek Niek van Wijk attached the following image:  [181.07Kb] |

From this angle it is difficult to say. It could be an Anthomyiid, Fanniid or Muscid. I think the first one is the most unlikely.

To me, it looks like a Muscidae....maybe a Potamia? But I'm no expert, so maybe not wice to react, but for one's.....  Greatings Joke |

No anthomyiid has a lower calypter of that shape, or indeed a head |

If you,ve got Photoshop you should be able to get back the details currently in shadow by going to.IMAGE>ADJUSTMENT>SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT and use the sliders. Regards Roger Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [177.76Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 07-09-2008 15:48 |

If you know anybody going to Bangkok, you can pick it up for about 3 Euros-allegedly. Don't tell Adobe I said so. |
