Possibly same species as that ID'd by Nikita last year; same locality, similar date.

The species name is Heleomyza cf difficilis Gill or Scoliocentra (Leriola) cf. difficilis (Gill). Actually I work on the generic status !. Hopefully my work will be finished in 2-3 months.

Hi Andrzej:
I found last year's male and have made a genitalia dissection. Far more interesting than the males of Pollenia. Now to try and get a decent photo - stay tuned.
