 Hello,

I think it's perhaps a Miltogramminae, Metopia sp, m?le.

 Bob is quite right.

It is a male Metopia.
The most likely speices is M. argyrocephala (it might just be tshernovae, which is rare indeed).

 Thank you, Louis, Bob and Theo for your reaction.
This fly is new for me, and so is it's family.
I can say that this is a nice introduction to the Metopia sp. for me! Smile

greeting Robert,

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
