Hi

I caught this fly (body length: 8mm) a few days ago in a wet area on the edge of a forest. I think it's a Rhamphomyia and this key leads me to Rhamphomyia sulcata. I think Rhamphomyia gr. sulcata at least is correct but I'm not sure for the species. What's your opinion about it ?

Found in La Boissière-Ecole, Yvelines, Île-de-France, France
