Nice fly indeed!
Another advice, dear Vitalij: do not use the number of the photograph as a title. We are more than 3,300 forum members and have only a handful of really good experts. Their time is very limited, so the thread titles should already indicate whether it touches their field of activity. This thread I would have named "long-legged fly with striped eyes". So the Tachinid experts know: "not my fly", and pass over. If there is only an anonymous number, everybody has to check the thread.
Still more important: when you got an identification (genus or even species name), use the "edit" button and rename your thread with it! It attracts more experts who will supply interesting comments or, may be, corrections. And all users search for names to gather knowledge. If I read a title "Tetanura pallidiventris" I will quickly open the thread about an interesting fly, whereas "DSC05540" arouses no interest at all.
Best wishes, Sundew
