I have come across a photo on http://naturewonders.piwigo.com/picture?/698/categories of Exprosopa capucina, taken in Turkey which looks much more like my Samos fly (and Samos is very close to Turkey) than the gallery images of this species taken in France and the Netherlands and venation details seem to match. Maybe it is quite variable regionally and mine is E. capucina?? in the Turkish form, Or the ID is wrong on the link I found, or some splitting is needed... Do any bombyliid experts have a view on this?
