Hello, I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on May 9th 2023. I think it is a Miltogramminae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image: ![]() [297.11Kb] Edited by ESant on 24-09-2023 14:36 |

Thank you! I assume the features that can be used to identify the species are not visible, right? |

If I recall correctly you have two or three species with silvery male frons and the hairs of the fore tarsi can distinguish one of them. |

Amongst others, there are actually at least fivemspecies. This one is quite likely M. rondaniana, I think. Theo |

Thank you both very much for the further info. Unfortunately the best view I have of the fore tarsi is the one in the second photo. |
