 You can also put your location in your profile on the forum Smile

Your photos show the hind-tibia "bristle-comb" quite nicely which puts it clearly in the Sturmia/Blepharipa area. Blepharipa is a bigger, darker fly and pratensis has median marginals on tergite #3 unlike the alternative, schineri. Smile
