or Angioneura melanoptera (check the strong apical scutellars, head profile, ...)

Hi Theo, I've compared it with Angioneura acerba, cyrtoneurina - their wings didn't match. Anthracomyia melanoptera (doronici) for me seems to have a different colouration of the wings, too, but of these 4 species I only met with M. nana until now.

Wing colouration is sexually dimorph and in any case: with strong apicals it can’t be Melanomyia.
