This small Bee fly species photographed by Struma Pond, Bulgaria on 1 Aug 2011 refused to settle so the only images that I have are in flight with no wing detail evident. I appreciate that this means identification to species from these images may not therefore be possible but thought I would nonetheless post these in cae.

Many thanks

Alan

Bombyliidae, it looks like our species from the genus Bombylius.

Thank you Nielsyese.

I had indicated Bee Fly hence Bombylidae and thought myself that it was cf Bombylius minor.
