A nice female Oxycera sp cf from the Croatian coast. Does anyone recognize this one?

Nope, Oxycera muscaria, which I would like for my collection. :P

Thanx for the identification. Unfortunately the fly got away, so it got to no collections.

Grrrr. I thought I was clever by looking in my dutch key, in my hungarian key. I was pretty sure about muscaria. I understand now it is an element of the mediterranean area. I think I do not have an key, which mentions this species. A pity. It is a very pretty fly, but that counts for all Oxycera..
I read that Schiner collected this fly on Punica. Why not...;-)
