 Pictures taken by Nacho Cabellos at Cabaņeros, Ciudad Real, C Spain, in November 2011. I am completely lost with this one. Any help in ID will be most welcome. Thanks in advance!

 I'm thinking Baumhaueria, but the angle of view is difficult
Any more lateral pics by any chance ?

 First of all, thank you to you all for your answers Smile

Secondly, no real lateral views unfortunately. He didn't suspect it could be interesting. It came to a light trap. He said the size was about lightly bigger than a House Fly. Adding another picture just in case it helps.

 And the same picture without cropping. There was some kind of Lauxaniid by it, to get a closer idea of the size of the mystery fly Wink

 Light, that favours Istochaeta

Piluca, please note that all Tachinids are always interesting by definition.

Till next time

 Interesting this issue of the light...

Piluca, please note that all Tachinids are always interesting by definition.


Well, that is something that probably you have taken notice that works for me Wink I am hooked!! Grin Grin Shock

And coming back to the light, although I know I should start another thread, I think this should stay in the same thread Wink Have a look at this another specimen that came to a light trap, this time in Almeria (SE Spain) in April this year. Don't you think it looks suspiciously similar to the other one?

 Looks very similar - I wish someone would put a net on it and send it to me! Then we would know the answer for sure! Wink

 Yes, it is Istochaeta, excellent call by Stephane

I'm not going to speculate on the species, those are pretty similar and moreover I know there are undescribed species around in Europe....

 In fact, this one might be one of them Wink

Thank you so much for taking the time to confirm it TumbsUp Just knowing the genus makes us very happy Smile

And well done, Stephane! TumbsUp

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
