Hello,
I found this nice fly on 29th August 2011 in Greece (Island Corfu).
Can somebody identify it?
Thanks for help,
Marion

Thank you for ID. It was the first one of this species for me. If I meet a second specimen I will remember the name.
Best regards, Marion

It is from Neotropical origin and have entered Europe via ports in Italy and Spain (Girona).
Nice to see it got all the way to Greece
