Muscid Fly

DateThu 2012-04-26

From a couple of years ago: a female Muscid fly, probably Helina evecta (Diptera: Muscidae).  It is also possible that it is Helina annosum but that species is reputed to be quite rare, at least in the UK.  The females of this species seem lighter in colour than the males.
