Compared quaternala Limnophora before identified by Nikita Vikhrev (http://www.dipter...d_id=42466), I find like the design on the head. But the spots on the thorax and coloration, I find more like Coenosia attenuata, which has also been identified by Nikita Vikhrev (http://www.dipter...d_id=42479 )
The color of the legs is not like any of them ..
Could any expert give his opinion?. I only take pictures, but I have no knowledge of taxonomy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Coenosia - correct, C. attenuata seems to me correct.
