Hello,

I photographed this fly in Valle Fredda (AQ), Italy, 1700m a.s.l. on May 31st 2022. Is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I suspect Rhinophoridae.
Best regards,

Rhinophoridae is correct and it's probably a female Paykullia maculata.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner
