Looks like Dolichopodidae; Campsicnemus sp. maybe... |

A Medetera species, maybe M. truncorum from East Turkey from this forum: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=31782 Turkish specimens recorded on lower parts of tree bark of Salix babylonica and observed as good hunters on Chironomid flies. |
