Thank you.
Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title.

Is it possible to reach the species?.
Best regards.

For me, no - very careful measurement of the frons/eye widths is necessary and you might also have species not in my key Smile

Very grateful for your explanations.

I have no ability or training to identify. I'm an amateur.

My proposal has no more foundation than the visual comparison with this I've found in Diptera Gallery ... http://www.dipter...oto_id=773

But you are experts, who must decide.

If I can add more photos of the same fly or other, seemingly similar photographed in the same place.

Best regards.

I think anything more than Carcelia spec. is pure speculation.

It is not rasa, though, in my opinion.
