From this specimen I have only one picture. Is it possible to identify the fly? Thank you.

 Vermileonidae! The ant-lion-fly Smile Wing fits. Don't mind Roger, they are hardly found there where You live.

 Probably Lampromyia (Vermileonidae).

 No, it's not Empis or related. Totally different wingvenation. And what seems to be the proboscis on this picture, probably is its right leg 3 clinging to the plant.

To my opinion this belongs to the Athericidae, or closely related.

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
