In my ignorance, I find it similar to that of another search http://www.dipter...d_id=43490

Coastal area in southern Spain

Appreciate your cooperation for identification.

As in the other case there's little point in trying to guess here. Because the lateral spots over the wing seem to be joined, I don't think it's A. pluvialis, but procellaris, quinquemaculata, imbrida and bazzini are all similar in appearance. See Michael Ackland's comments at, for example, http://www.dipter...d_id=19850.

Thank you very much for your information.
It seems that because of their similarity, it is difficult to obtain identification of these species. Wait to have more luck next time you find any of them.
