A female Dilophus, to narrow it further down.

The wings look clear, which would exclude the common D. febrilis.
In which case, D. femoratus is your best guess.

I forgot, the female of D. humeralis is easily recognized by the short face. So this must be D. femoratus.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
