Haematopotoma males are extremely difficult under microscope, impossible according to single picture from nature. No italica, I can say this with certainity. Probably not crassicornis. I would prefer pluvialis or subcylindrica, but cannot give you any exact ID.

Hello mossnisse and libor.

The other Haematopota pluvialis I found have all the beautiful coloured waves in their eyes. Of this fly the eyes were pale green to grey, so, I thought maybe it is a different kind.
To be safe we make it an Haematopota spec. OK..?
Thank you for your reactions!!
