Aigüestortes, Pyrenees, Lerida, NE Spain. In a very special lake with Potamogeton natans. Much smaller than Rhagio scolopaceus/tringarius. Size as an Haematopota.  Thanks |

Well, yellow pterostigma and grey femora = maybe Rh. annulatus. But not good picture, so I am not sure. Isidro, are you able and willing to collect some Rhagionidae in your region and send me them? Libor |

well , to me the pterostigma looks more greyish (nearer from the blackish ones) than yellowish.

Libor, this is not my region, in fact is a very special zone, like a patch of northern Europe put in the Pyrenees with some unique fauna and rare flora. This is the only time that I saw a fly like it. I was with Jorge so I tried to catch it for be collected but the rhagionid though that is not good idea and flied away without let me collect it. If I see it again I will collect, but I doubt that this will happen. Thanks |

Jorge, maybe you are right and the pterostigma is darker. The picture is not such good to see all colors correctly. Mayba the whole animal is greyish, including wings. I do not see antennae well, so maybe not Rhagio, but Symphoromyia??? Isidro, I ment Rhagionidae not only from this region, but from the whole Spain  |
