Another Rhinophorid, a Phyto?

Another shot. Or are this and the one posted in the other thread the same?

Looks like it, but the topcell is open (?)

There are Phyto's with an open topcell, but these are rare and I have never seen them myself.
So did you collect it ?

Probably this fly was not collected. Unfortunatley this year again I had no time to organize my specimens.

Couldn't it be another
Rhinomorinia, cause I see the same strong orbital inclined outward ?

I think it might be a worn R. sarcophagina. This fly was found where the other R. sarcophagina was photographed. Interestingly this species is rather common in the Buekk mountains in mid summer, but I have never observed it anywhere else.
Thanx for all three of you with this and other recent threads.

Rhinomorinia sarcophagina is rather common in spring in Eastern Europe in forests, possibly deciduous forests, from at least Lithuania to Montenegro.
And Hungary is relatively low in nice forests (with the exception of Bukk of course and a few others). So that might explain it.
Still looking for this species in western Europe
