From Turkey, Aladag mountains (ca 1600 m), 1 June. Unused field. Size like Bombylius major.

I know Bombylius may be difficult, but I hope the striking color pattern allows for an ID!

This is Bombyliidae, probably Bombylius, but i cannot key it from the photo. I have seen this species in museums but cannot remember itsa name.
