Hello,

I photographed this fly in the Girgini forest, Sardinia (NU), Italy, 900m a.s.l. on May 15th 2025. I found it in the same location as this other Rhagio: https://diptera.i..._id=117056, but this one flew away before I could collect it. Would it be possible to say something more about its identity?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Body length? Pilosity on thorax dark, on abdomen light?

It was quite small. I didn't measure it, but based on the proportions of my hand in the pictures I'd say it was around 6-7mm long.

Rhagio corsicanus? Do you agree, Theo?
