Please follow the Forum - Code of Conduct and state some details of the where, how and when.
For the moment I can at least tell you that it belongs in Empis (Xanthempis), possibly univittata because of the largely darkened occiput and rather darkish legs.

Oh sorry Paul, it?s my mistake.

I found it on 30. April 2007 in my garden in Austria, Land Salzburg, near the national park of the Hohe Tauern.
The fly was max. 12mm in the lenght.
Im attachment is a second picture.

Best regards Niki

The second image is Empis stercorea and I guess the first one is the same.
Cheers,
