Hello,

this fly is from april from western Portugal. Length was about 1cm. I even don't know the family. Bombylidae? Therevidae? Does anybody know, what it could be?

Thanks,
Michael

Thank you for the answers. I guess, the species in Portugal are too similar to differentiate on a photo.

Greetings,
Michael
