Yes - Stratiomyidae :)

PS: please use different titles for each new posting - otherwise they all look the same and people will miss them ;)

Ok, I ll try, however I dont know how to "title" it if I have no idea about the fly. Besides I am changing the title immediately after some closer ID.. Thanks for help!

Some people just add a number - or the date you took the photo - or just "fly with long antennae" as a brief but unscientific description :) It just helps people (like me) who use the "New Posts" page ;)

Unfortunately, changing the title of the image makes it disappear from your initial post, making it virtually worthless... :(

Hmm, perhaps confusing changing the subject/title with changing the filename? :S Either way, just uploading the image again should fix it :)

I am not uploading the picture I am adding URL from my website :P. I think I ll follow your advice about adding numbers. And also.. I ll change the title once it ll be identified. I think it should be ok this way :)
