hmm... Now I never forget about the Heterocheila. Smile And with a conspicuous clypeus! Shock fabulous. Unmistakable, indeed.

better wait for Nikita confirmation. But really it seems some kind of bristles, but with this resolution it is better not take risk.

Thanks, Tony, for your answer. Smile

Dear colleguaes,
1. I promise to find answer sooner or later and let you know.
2. Vein A looks long on photo, but short really. Katepisternal setae as Tony showed.
3. I don't think it is Anthomyiidae, most of all becuase leg chaetotaxy (very very week indeed) remind Limnophora type.
4. As a first step I asked opinion of Vera Sorokina, she works with Spilogona genus.

Fly came back to me without ID.
I tried again myself -
it is Villeneuvia (or, if I overlook hairs on prosternum - Neolimnophora).
Anyway, species level requires material to compare and male collected, I'll try both next season.
