Muscidae wing query
Can anyone verify that the image is consistent with a Muscidea, please?
I am just checking, and hope that this is right (using the Intro part of the Diptera family key)

I'll not be surpised if it ends up with the initials P. t.

Re: Muscidae wing query
Okay, don't tell me what p.t. means.
I'll try to take my ID a bit further, and attempt to follow the key I've got. But I can't see that it will be easy.

P. t. = Phaonia tuguriorum?
