I'm very confused about varius very similar (to me) flies that belongs to different and unrelated families. And I don't know in what family can be this one.

Yesterday, Pe?aflor, Aragon, Spain. Under trees, at the shadow (trees are Tamarix and Ulmus minor, below grows Phragmites australis and Hordeum murinum).

The fly sizes 8-9 mm. long.

The picture is bad due tho de flash-light and because the fly flied out and don't let me take more photos, but, I hope that can be enough.

Thanks. Wink

Well, this one belongs to Sciomyzidae. I think we have his species in the gallery. Nikita will help you further.

Unfortunelly Gabor, I can't help much further. It is either Euthycera or Coremacera, closely related genuses, distinguished by setulose 3-d segment in Coremacera. It isn't visible.
So my best answer is Cf.Euthycera cf.cf.cribrataPfft

Thanks! I suppose it's impossible go to more specific level. The only sure is the family and this is already more that I knew for this fly, so, I'm happy.

In the gallery I see Coremacera and Euthycera identical.. Pfft

Thanks again
