Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on September 28th 2022. I think it is a Coenosia, but is it possible to identify its species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

It definitely does look similar, but I don't know if in the area there are also other lookalikes such as Spanochaeta dorsalis or other members of Coenosia.
