Photograph taken on September, 11, 2012, in the wetlands of the Suárez Pond, Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Apparent size with wings, about 7 mm.

Thank you.

Very grateful for their identification. Smile
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Best regards.

I really appreciate your information, to try to reach dipterous species this.
I have not managed to find the photograph that you captured. I have also tried to see those in Diptera Gallery info, to check. But to no avail, no specimens of that species.
I'm just an amateur photographer of Diptera, but without knowledge to identify.
Hopefully another expert can confirm its proposal.

Best regards from southern Spain.

Sorry, Maherjos, I was confused with dark femora. Wing venation and mesonotal setation vote for the Medetera flavipes group. M. flavipes is the commonest species in the Mediterraneans. I have caught it today in the Crimea.

I appreciate your correction and its new guidance on the identification of this fly.

From this if there is a copy in Diptera Gallery, and in my opinion I think there are features of identity.

Could you confirm this identification.?
It would be nice if another specialist would also give us your opinion.

Greetings from southern Spain.

It would be nice if you will catch the fly and send the material to another specialist.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
