Hello

I saw this fly in Richards Bay,South Africa,and I was wondering if someone could identify it.It was raining so I could not take a photoSad,but I can describe it.

It was gray,except for its face which was silver and it had three black dots in a vertical row on its abdomen.It had see-through wings with white veins.It also had red eyes and closely resembled a beach tabanid.

Thank you
Johl DanielsSmile

Sounds like an Anthomyiidae ... but really, it's anybody's guess!
