Hello,

I photographed this fly in Campo Imperatore (AQ), Italy, 1400m a.s.l. on August 12th 2021. I think it is an Heleomyzidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Looks very much like the Gymnomus caesius which I photographed [too many years ago] and stuck in the Gallery...
