Empis (Coptophlebia) (nr?) albinervis. I am not sure whether albinervis can have shortly pennate fore tarsi. The abbreviated M1+2 rules out the pennipes group of species of Empis (Empis).

Ah ok.
Thanks a lot.

The fly is always in the alcohol 70 degrees.
What picture could be useful to be sure?

Best regards.

Indeed, only females have pennate legs. Leg pennation is very rare among males of Empididae, certainly in the western Palaearctic.
