Hi,
I will apreciate if someone could help me with the identification of the specimen of the attached picture (I send three other threads with three more pictures of the same individual). It was captured visiting flowers of Asphodelus aestivus during this spring in Menorca (Balearic Islands), if that can help.
Thank you very much for your attention and help.
Best regards,
Ana Montero

I'd guess at
Siphona sp. (Tachinidae).

Yes, this is a
Siphona sp. but no further identification is possible without a specimen and a fair amount of luck too ;)
As Stephen said, to add extra photos just reply to your original post and insert the image there ... it is not necessary to create new threads each time.
