You are right, Chris! I never seen before a Stratiomyidae fly. This is the first one I saw! The long antennas did cheat me. Sad

I think that is possible to reach, at least, genus level, but in diptera gallery I didn?t find any like this one.

 This species is really funny because it moves the antennas alternatively back and forth.

Yes. I saw that. And it is really very quiet. This could be call the "quiet fly" Smile not "soldier fly".
