Hello to you all.
I'm new at Diptera.info and also new at the curiosity about diptera, although I think I'm here to stay Smile

I found this flies today and I have no idea about their ID. Its a fabulous fly! A real beauty!

I would appreciate any help you can give me on the ID.
The photos where taken today in the center of Portugal.
Thank you for your help!

That's ok for now. Wink
In next time, use only one thread per species.
Hope you have fun here in DI.
