Thank you Paul. It is a pleasure that you didn't give my immediate answer! I'm going home to try to key it!

If the hind tibiae are broadened, yes, that would be a possibility.

Then I think that you are on the right track with Leptometopa. Grin

Neither of Leptometopa species from Europe.
Could anybody advise any key for North African Leptometopa, please?

I was mistaken when keyed this fly.
It is Leptometopa latipes, without doubts!
