Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on July 6th 2019. I'm not sure of the family it belongs to, but could you help me identify it from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Looks like Oscinimorpha novakii ,which according to Michael von Tschirnhaus is;- "Not rare in all Mediterranean countries incl. Israel. The long proboscis protruding over the mouth margin, being blackish above; at least the first two tergites of the abdomen reddish-brownish, mostly the whole abdomen reddish (rare in this genus); three slightly impressed furrows on the mesonotum (= scutum), misleading beginners to the genus Tricimba; a robust Oscinimorpha, flower visitor similar to O. minutissima, O. koeleriae and Trachysiphonella ruficeps (= pygmaea). Larval substrate unknown. The long proboscis is also used for kleptoparasitic ingestion of the pre-digested food of zoophagous Heteroptera and spiders".

Regards

Roger.

But knowing my luck it'll be something different awkward Grin

I agree with the ID Oscinimorpha novakii, but to be sure let's wait for other remarks.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
