Photo taken today in Corujo-Vigo (Spain) in a woodland marshland near the seaside. Alnus & oak dominants.
Size about 7 mm.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe Anthomyia illocata?

Once again, I think Limnophora (Muscidae), either tigrina or obsignata. I' can't say without a dorsal view.

Greetings.

Thanks Rafael. From this view, the broad black postsutural band doesn't seem to be connected with scutellum by a mid stripe, which indicate Limnophora obsignata. In tigrina, it is connected.
