Dr. Majer J?zsef agree with my hypothesis. He said: "There is great prabality of your fly is a female Rhagio niger (Wiedemann en Meigen, 1820)." Smile

A new for diptera.info. Smile

Surprise:

This is actually the female of Rhagio aterrimus Zeegers & Alvarez Fidalgo.
Published yesterday, if you are struggling to find it !
This photo is mentioned in the article.

Note the aberrant wing venation, which proves to be pretty common in this species.

Nice photographs, Jorge !
