Any idea of size? If I can see a projecting proboscis then it could only be Aphria or Rhamphina, I think ... and my Rhamphina pedemontana doesn't have a white face like that, but it looks too big to be Aphria too.

Wow - very interesting - but one for Theo I think  My guess would be Rhamphina but I have only seen them once, in the Pyrennes

Looks like Rhamphina to me, there is more than one species (two, I believe) Theo |

If Theo is happy with Rhamphina then if this has a strong petiolate R5 then it has to be R.pedemontanum but it would be nice to have a few more angles to be sure For instance, it appears to have a complete row of median marginals on T3 but this would be a feature of the other species P.rectirostris, which has a closed R5.

This is R. rectirostris - right prementum . In pedemontana , prementum is strongly curved (see mine thread to confront http://diptera.in...d_id=41063).
