This si another of the Diptera photographed on my second Bulgaria tour this year. It was photographed near Vikren, Bulgaria on 31 July 2013. I think it is a Hemipenthes species but would appreciate confirmation or correction of this and would be grateful for any suggestions regarding identification to species if possible.

Many thanks

Alan

Hello Alan,

This looks to me like a Hemipenthes maurus.

Greetings,
