I think you are right.

This is of course another good example for the mimicry list.

Thank you, Jorge Smile

Is it possible to be sure about the species?

Jorge, if you want you can have the specimen.

I agree with Jorge about C. flavipes; try this key for Conopidae (go to Conops there):

Thanks to Mark van Veen! Smile

IMO, flying Conopidae demonstrate the most impressive mimicry! Shock
I think it's a very effective trick to approach the host (Conopidae are parasitic flies, females infect hymenopterans in the air...). Am I wrong?

Thank you Smile

I tryed the key and, if I done the things right, it belongs without a doubt to the species Conops flavipes.
