 I know these are virtually impossible without genitalia but I couldn´t resist to give it a try here as it was pretty cooperative and got detailed pictures.

 Gymnosoma clavatum seems more likely to be, really. I wonder to hear Theo in this one as well. Smile

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
