Hello!

When looking at the gallery I come to the conclusion, that this 10-12 mm fly from our house wall yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany) must be a Muscina levida female. Am I right? Thanks in advance for confirmation or correction!

M levida is distinguished by having no orange at all except on the tip of the scutellum, so I think you are right. The other Muscina's (at least the others in the UK - 3 species) have some orange on legs, face, palps and/or abdomen.

Thanks a lot! According to the "Entomofauna germanica" we also have only 3 Muscina species here in Germany. I think, they are the same as in the UK: levida, prolapsa and stabulans.
Best regards,
Jürgen
