I´d say a dark form of
divisa, but difficult to say for sure.

Thanks for answer.
I have more pictures but may be not the right views. I attach 2 additional pictures.

a bad side view. I think it is the same specimen. The photo was taken 1 min before the others.

I can understand the suggestion of divisa.However, I feel that there is too much silvery on tergite 5. Since the pic is flashed, the pretty yellow colouration of the head might be artificial. So I'd say it might very well be Gonia picea.

The pictures were not flashed, only sun light.
I´ll store the fly as Gonia divisa/picea.
Thank you, Marion
