Hi
I hope that some of you might be able to help me solve the id for this nice greek species.
It was photographed on the 22. May 2011 at Kalogria, Northwestern Peloponnese, Greece.

I have no idea, I'm not an expert. Maybe someone else (Theo Zeegers?) will be able to give a species ID...

Thanx a lot Libor - a search for this species yielded this page, with a nice photo of italicus looking very similar to my fly. Thanx
