Hi Everyone

I have an interest in Diptera, therefor I will post over the coming days some pictures of flies that I have taken and would love to identify.

I live in the Algarve, south of Portugal, and at the moment I have seen an unsual fly, that I can not identify.
It flies around in a quicker speed than syrphidae and instead of choosing flowers it lands more often closer to the ground.
It measures around 4-7mm and has a greater wing span.
Your comments are welcome, thank you!
