 HI


* locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL
* date - 25.11.2006
* size - 7 mm
* habitat - open land
* substrate - granite/lichen

I saw this fly just a little before a storm. And took some photos with bad illumination.

 Hello, Jorge!

My guess as a non-expert would be: male Scatophaga stercoraria.
Best regards,
Jürgen
