 I saw this Catharosia (?) from Viseu, in 11th AUGUST 2014 . It was wandering over the soil and in shadowy place.
Around 4 mm size.

 Yes, that might very well be Catharosia, though it looks interesting.
Are there apical scutellar bristles present ? Palpus present ?

 I think it would help to see the whole fly - legs included. Dorsally too - and the antennae. Smile Catharosia pygmaea can have pale forms and then there is the rare flavifrons ... not sure if there are others Smile

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.
