I suppose that it's very difficul to identify Bibio with this photo, but I try it.

Photographed at Valmadrid, Aragon, Spain, two weeks ago, near a reed bed with low level of water, surrounded by praries and wheat fields.

Hmm, I think that photo succeeds in showing almost *no* features that can be used to identify bibionids! Wink Do you have any shots that show the wing-venation, fore-tibia, hind leg and antennae? Smile

Oh, sorry. I'm completely new in this forum and the dipterans are the group of insects that are less known by me. I don't know the identification features for any group. I have only this photo, because the other photos that I taked was too blurred.
I knew this forum few days ago, and now I can take better fly photos for determination, but at the miment I will try to identify the old photos that I can't identifly.

Thanks, Chris
Bye Wink
