Moscow region, a little bit less than E. livida. Empis? Late time of year (10 sept) give me some chance to ID?

It is not Empis livida. I think a species of Rhamphomyia (just a hunch). I will have to think about this one. Smile

Mostly yes, but not always (look for example at this one: http://www.dipter...ead_id=694). And like I said, it is just a hunch that this is Rhamphomyia and it may well turn out to be Empis after all (if I can find out what it is, because many details are not visible Sad).
