This one usually comes in dozens. It moves unbelievably slow for a fly. What is this? Picture taken in Jerusalem, on the 5th of August this year. GlassOWater attached the following image:  [101.19Kb] |

Thanks. I found this http://www.dipter...load_id=60 interesting paper about the group, which also includes a key. A few pages down, there is also a description of the relevant species. I'm too sleepy now to try and understand all the diptera-talk now, but I'll probably try tomorrow. |

OK, so I had a look at the descriptions, and seems to me like M. czernyi. I added a picture with the characteristics I found. I'm not sure these are all correct, so I'll be happy for more help.
