Hi all,
I'm promoting some of my unanswered threads since I can see that new people had joined the forum and maybe they also hold new knowledge and can solve some of the ID questions.

Sweet! This is a female of Adoxomyia sarudnyi (Pleske, 1903), the completely red legs are characteristic for this difficult genus. They are very rare flies and I have seen this species from Turkey and it is known from Iran and Afghanistan. Great find!
Cheers
