Thread subject: Diptera.info :: A possible Bulgarian Villa species

On my second visit of the year to Bulgaria I was again able to find and photograph some interesting Diptera. This one was photographed near Rila on 8 August 2012. I think this might be a species of Bombylidae possibly a Villa sp. I would be grateful if anyone can confirm this and if it is possible to suggest the actual species.

Many thanks

Alan
