| | | Some more flies from Northern Ireland
Can anyone help with the identification of these flies. All of the photos were taken in Northern Ireland. I suspect that image 2 and 4 may be of the same species but seeing as I know very little about flies I could be wrong. |

All the flies are of the family Muscidae.
1. Phaonia pallida (male).
2 and 4. Helina sp.
5. One of the orange-abdomened Phaonia e.g. rufiventris or subventa.
6. Possibly a Hydrotaea.
I will compare the images with specimens in my reference collection. |

Hi Laurence. Thanks for your input. Can you please clarify which flies you refer to in 5 and 6 as I only posted 5 pics. I presume you mean 3 and 5? |

2 and 4 are Helina impuncta females
5 is Phaonia subventa male
I cannot place 3 at the moment. | | |
