These flies, very similar to the previous (maybe even the same?) was photographed last Saturday in the Catalonian pyrenees, NE Spain, in a high mountain lake with many cows and cow boost. About 1800 meters, many Pinus uncinata, Aconitum napellus, Parnassia palustris, Rhododendron ferrugineum, Juniperus communis f. procumbens... Can be identified? Thanks, Regards   |

I think this is Scathophaga scybalaria (I don't know if there are other similar species in your area). The very broad, yellow wings of the male are characteristic (at least in Britain).

Can you submit these for the gallery? - I think they are the only pics to have appeared on D.I. of this species.

I'll try to compare the pictures with some specimens tomorrow - I'll let you know if there are any differences. If not, then I think it is appropriate to post them as scybalaria.
