Hi Flyforum,

I got this picture from my brother.

He found two of these (Tephritidae sp?.) flies in the kitchen.

Is it possible to identify? , what kind of flies are these?

Robert Heemskerk,

Most likely Ceratitis capitata, but I'ld need a better view on the thoracical pattern to rule out any other Ceratitis species.
