It's a Nowickia but I'm not sure which species it might be

I think with Nowickia we'd need to see the abdomen pattern better and also see the colour of the palps

Thank You for Your answer. Now I have 2 pics and I hope this are the right parts of the fly. If not, please tell me, what You need, I still have the Fly.

Well, it will have to wait for Theo (doesn't look like ferox) ... or if you don't mind sending me the specimen then I can key it out properly

It does look like ferox, the tip of the palpus is yellow, that suffice. Moreover, the abdominal pattern suggests ferox, this is however variable, so that is why I did not react on the first pic. Nevertheless, always good to check the genitalia (very distinctive in Nowickia) Theo |

Nice It's OK Ulrich (thanks) - if Theo says it is ferox then I am happy
