Allopiophila luteata?

No. Do you have the fly ? I think it's closer to Liopiophila varipes, but I need to know some details not visible in a picture.

Yes. What do you want to know?

I change my mind, I can see a rather strong orbital, so not
Liopiophila. I need the fly to go further.

I'm now pretty sure it is
Parapiophila vulgaris. Could you check :
Prosternum, anepisternum and anepimeron bare ; meron not completely glossy black (partly to mostly pruinose), and for the thoracic chaetotaxy : 0+1 dc, 1 humeral (postpronotal), 1 presutural.

Confirmed under the microscope:
Allopiophila vulgaris (
[Allopiophila and
Parapiophila were synonymized by Ozerov in 2004).
