So it is C. atra. I thought it looked quite like it, but then ruled it out because I didn't think it would be here to. Interestingly (or not) there is a ravine (a former clay quarry) close by with a body of water in it. Thanks for the ID Jorge

I got 2 this weak in the malaisetrap. Very dry forest. So forest is common divider, here, it doesn't need to be wet. By the way, for a fly that is so often missed or misidentified, it is really very very easy to recognize it. That is, once you know it ! Thanks Theo |
