Hello!

This fly was found amongst the dense vegetation in my garden. I do not know even the familyShock Many appreciate for any idea!

Hello Jorge and Theo!

I have got seven images from this fly but unfortunately all of them are from the same angle so that I am afraid of that in this case we must be satisfied only with the family! Thank you very much for the help anyway!

No! This is really a Thecophora sp. Smile
The family is Conopidae.
