Impossible to be sure.

Looks more like fera or even praeceps.

Well, that doesn't help, since magnicornis has the tibiae red as well.
Moreover, I don't think we really can see the colouration of the tibiae in these pics. They might be reddish, as far as I can tell.

i'm sorry, I have another picture which shows the legs...but it is too big to post here... I also read about those two species here: http://www.dipter...ad_id=7565
and now I should say that my fly looks more like fera, but I don't find nothing about praeceps...
Thank you Zeegers for your answers..

Best wishes,

WEll, I do know the differerences (praeceps has only 2 post IA bristles and the hairs on sternite 1 white), but I simply can't see it on this pictures.
