Hi,

still in Comana Natural Park.
in the morning a trip on the water to photo birds (no very successful) and late afternoon a trip in the forest with several flies photographed/collected (much more collected).

this is from Dolichopodidae, i will say Rhaphium genus, is possible to go further just from photos?

thanks for the help,
cosmln

[EDIT]: title updated, thanks to Igor Grichanov

Surstylus with dense bunch of long setae at apex, Cercus short, so it should be Rhaphium caliginosum Meigen (=Rhaphium zetterstedti (Parent, 1925, 1938))
