 Hello,

I found this pretty Sciomyzidae, could it be Limnia paludicola which is present in my Country/zone?

Somebody could please help me with the ID?

 Usually males of Limnia are to differentiate by genitalia. In your case I would say that it is Limnia unguicornis because the anterioventral row of bristles on hind femur extending to basal third.
