Possibly assimilis or grandis but I would need a specimen to be sure Smile

It's not possible from photos - that's why we need a specimen, assuming I am right with Phorocera Smile

but grandis is extremely rare in the Netherlands and generally has a broader parafacial, so I have little doubt this is assimilis.

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
