Hello friends!

I´m just a new member in this site, though it has been my reference for a long time to try and identify my flies, for it is great, I must say.
Nevertheless I am but a keen and now I need your help to identify this guy, if you please.
I found it at the limit of a wheat field, but I don´t know its size further than it can be appreciated in the picture. I'm sorry that it is not too good and it is the only one that I could take.
I thought that it could be maybe Solieria pacifica, but I'm not sure at all.

Thank you

Oh, and please tell us WHERE and WHEN this picture was taken. Without this information it's usually impossible to identify a fly. No-one knows the whole world fauna Smile

It certainly looks like a Solieria but I think it is a female so it will be impossible/difficult to identify it further Smile
