It is a Hybomitra, looks like H. micans. Theo should confirm or reject, however...

Definitely Aterrima group. I'd rather suggest H. caucasica - it should be common in the mountains of Central Europe. However the palpi are not brown and the abdomen is not entirely black. So might be H. aterrima after all...
Let's wait Theo for more definite answer Wink

It is pretty dark, pity we cannot judge the wing colouration accurately, but I think it is H. aterrima.
You can nicely see some golden hairs, as already noted by Sergiy, which again illustrates that there are intermediate forms between auripila and aterrima s.s. (hence: aterrima and not caucasica).

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
