 I'd appreciate any hint about this flower visitor. It vaguely looks like a Phaoniinae to me, but I admit there are many chances I'm downright wrong.

Sierra de Cazorla, southeastern Spain, 17 June 2020, 1600 m asl. Feeding on flowers of Sedum acre

 Hi, I think it's one of the Sarcophagidae - Macronychia cf. striginervis.

Greetings, Eric

 The pattern is nrgative of most Sarcs (black on silver rather than vice versa), hence Sarcophila or possibly Angiometopa.

Can you give an estimate of its size ?

 Thanks Theo - could it be a Wohlfahrtia (pattern and drop-shaded abdomen)? W. bella?

Greetings, Eric

 I agree with you Theo that it could be an Angiometopa, of which there is also an undescribed species in Spain, as I think you know.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
