Dear all;

Enclosed a fly I found in spanish mountains near Portugiese boarder; 600m beginning August; cole by a small river.
From the quite characteristic Abdomen I would guess Gymnosoma clavatum.

Could you please confirm / correct?

Thanks and best regards;

Norbert.

I think the abdomen is only characteristic of a male Gymnosoma Smile Do you have any other angles?
