Not the best resolution, but is this fly able to be identified? I am leaning towards Geron sp., but not quite sure.
It was found in Central Greece (June 28, 2020).
Thank you in advance.

I'd rather think it is Phthiria sp. (female).

Greetings,

Hi Chris, yes, a female Phthiria - unfortunately I can only exclude some: pulicaria, minuta, gaedii and I guess it could be canescens.

Greetings, Eric
