Wow ... not familiar at all but it looks really interesting  Can you post a few more angles? I'm intrigued by the shape of the abdomen.

Well here is a picture from behind. It seems to have her ovipositor bend under the abdomen. Strange fly indeed. I have an other small too and try to take pictures during the next break in football games  Jari JariF attached the following image:  [158.02Kb] Edited by JariF on 13-06-2010 14:51 |

Even more mysterious ... I'd love to key it - the abdomen must be very distinctive ... as are the petiole, yellow palps, short yellow antennae and head shape
