Syprhidae. Brachyopa sp.
2013.V.10 - Póvoa Dão - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL

It was sitting on Urtica sp. leaf.

Could this be a B. bicolor?

* large pit in the 3rd antennal segment - a bit larger than it is usual in B. scutellaris
* pubescent arista
* hyaline wings without any spots
* tergites have no medial line (the last tergites have an indistinct dark mark in the lateral part)
* anespisternum bare
* pillose katepisternum mainly near the legs - whitish bristles. (very long near the base of the legs) - observed at 45x
* black tarsi

with these data is possible to know the possible species?

It looks like Brachyopa scutellaris, especially the sensory pit.

Indeed, it does look like Brachyopa scutellaris!

Thanks. Indeed it is most likely to be B. scutellaris. And the pit has a kidney shape as is typical in this species along with hyaline wings. All the features pointed out before seems to agree with this ID.
