Rivellia are very common here, in the North of Portugal. I think this could be R. syngenesiae, but I don't know how R. hispanica looks like. The photos show a specimen feeding on bird droppings. location: Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal date: 31/05/2009   Video: YouTube Video |

I don't know R. hispanica either, but the small clear marking in the apical wing spot is rather uncommon in R. syngenesiae. Whether that would be a difference with syngenesiae, I don't know.

You can send it along with the Syrphidae. I will try to get it to a specialist here if you want. |

Thank you Paul. I checked other photos from different specimens and this one is the only one with that clear marking on the wing. Thank you too Andre. Unfortunately I didn't collect this specimen. I'll try to find more with this kind of wing pattern and it would be very nice to have an ID.  |
