Hello, I photographed this fly in Crecchio (CH), Italy, 250m a.s.l. on July 20th 2021. I think it is a Stratiomyidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [299.11Kb] Edited by ESant on 02-10-2021 11:48 |

So, to Central European standards, this one is weird. Clearly, long hairs are present on the back of the head all over and the legs are yellow. This is a non-existing combination in Central Europe. Theo |

Thank you both for the help! If it doesn't match with any of the Central European species then I think it could only be S. albibarbus or S. harderseni. Unfortunately I don't know if it's possible to tell the difference between the two just from these photos.
