Many thanks for your information.

Physiphora cf. smaragdina (Loew). The last species, to my knowledge, is widespread throughout Africa, but has not been recorded from Europe. Any captured specimens?

Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title.
In principle, when I find a different fly, I do not recognize it, and only try to take the best pictures. But if I find it, knowing it might be interesting for specialists like you, I will try to capture for you some specimen
It seems to be something interesting. Except dissenting opinion, I guess, I can upload to gallery.

Best regards.
