Taken in a garden in Gijón Botanical Gardens on August the 29th 2012. I think it might be Helina impuncta. Confirmation or correct ID will be most welcome Wink

There are many more pictures and I can show good detail of any part of the fly if it is required (but genitalia, of course Grin Angry Angry Shock )

Helina, but abdomen is spotted, no ? If so, this is not H. impuncta.

And again, thanks a bunch, Stephane!! Smile

Checked my old pictures of Helina impuncta and I can see clearly my mistake awkward awkward

But what else can it be then? What do you need to see? I have loads of pictures with detail (all chaetotaxy of the legs, thorax, head...)
