I photographed this fly in Louvain la neuve, Belgium on June 2nd 2009.
Size approx like a House-fly
I thought it looked a lot like Siphona geniculata, which I saw last year, but several details are wrong, I believe.
Any hints ??
TIA
Philippe

Not
Siphona - no angled proboscis - but it could be a Siphonini like
Actia :)

Can we please get the photo's separately ?
It doesn't look like Siphonini, more like Triarthria. However, the bristles on the parafacialia seem to be lacking. In which case..... I'm not gonna write my thought.
I'd love to have a better look at the arista !
Was it collected, this fly ?

Thanks Chris and Theo
No, the fly was not collected, but I have several more pictures and will search them for revealing details.

Here's the best I can do... Maybe you'll spot some revealing detail ;°)

Thanks
SO it is Triarthria setipennis after all, with an unusual (but not impossible) orange antenna.
