length was 5 mm from head to end of abdomen, pictures were made on 27th february 2006 in "La Londe les Maures", France, near the Mediterranean sea. The fly was on euphorb.

some other shots/closer views/details on request

Thanks for you help !

Muscidae - Helina. Could well be H. reversio.

:( Another mistake. Dipters are not easy. ;) But it would be boring if they weren't hard to ID. :D
