I can't see yellow halteres and the frons looks too silvery for barbifrons. Personally, I'd say it looks more like Phasia pusilla Smile

Thanks Chris! I think you are correct.

When I compare it to some of my previously confirmed barbifrons-images the abdomen also seems lighter and not as shiny-black.

Dusting on the abdomen is quite variable, in my experience. Dusting on the thorax would suggest Phasia obesa but with undusted thorax, dark haltares and a silvery face with no hairs between the frontal row and the eyes would mean it can only be Phasia pusilla Smile

Chris is quite right.

The validity of this remarks ends when you approach the Mediterrean region.
