Moscow region, 14 sept, 5-6mm.
Regarding fly's abdomen I decided that I damage fly, but afterwards I found that row of spines on ventral side of abdomen is OK for Blondelia.
Correct?

Hi Nikita

Difficult to tell from this angle, but it is consistent with Blondelia nigripes.
If you see a clear saw-like ridge on the belly with spines,
you should be OK

I didn't risk a guess because I couldn't be sure of the orientation of the apical scutellars (and most other key features, like leg bristles, face etc). Smile

Theo: How many species have the "saw-ridge" on the sternites? I only found it in Compsilura concinnata here.

Thank you Theo and Chris.
1. Scutellar ap short and thin, crossed.
2. I tried to make photo of ventral part of abdomen, it isn't easy task.
Ventraly rings 3,4 look somehow open and like two dorsal part of crocodile!
