 I can rule out H. aenescens, and if I can see correctly a white calypter on the right, it would remain only H. capensis.

 Thanks Stephane! Smile I didn't make more photos of the fly, so I'll call it H. cf. capensis

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
