T. cf. atra. longer than 5 mm, silverish abdomen, second antennal segment much longer than the third. pusilla, distincta, longirostris and melanopa has almost the second antennal segment to the third, which is not this case!
this never could be a Myopa - look at the proportion of the eyes comparing to the head. Wink

Definitely atra group, but not really possible to ID from males, even when pinned. However, dusting and leg colour suggest T fulvipes to me.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
