No clue here, but think the venation is looking good for Therevidae, but no Norwegian species are fitting the habitus of this netted specimen - S Norway 14th June.

Thanks for any help!

Cheers Jørn

Asilidae. Compare Dioctria hyalipennis.

I think it is Dioctria, Asilidae.
Best regards,

I checked this key:
http://www.geller...octria.htm

And found that Dioctria rufipes fits best. My specimen has obvious yellowish/brownish hair on the top of the back of its head.

D. rufipes has a huge antennal tubercle, longer antennae and a more shiny mesonotum. This is definately D. hyalipennis

Thanks for the correction, Reinoud, I see your points! This is also the initial proposal from John.
