Hi

I found today that fly in my garden. I tried to find a possible ID but I failed. Have you got any idea ?

Thank you in advance.

length : maybe 6 or 7 mm

Thank you for answer. It's difficult but maybe something close to Helina consimilis ?

Alex, I never worked with Helina seriously, sorry.
How can I say looking on photo (a good one): is radial node with hairs on ventral side or not?
Try to start to collect, mount etc. and in 1-2-3 year you will know answers yourself...
