Hello,
this little male Empididae (4 mm.) was captured (the 23 04 2024) in a city (on the bonnet of my car).
Locality Parthenay-79200-West of France.

Sorry for the deformation of the head (the proboscis is not at its place) due to a bad maneuvre in putting the fly in a box.

Iteaphila sp. was sugested .

Do you agree and Is it possible to get species with these pictures ?

If necessary I will can make a picture of genitalia.

Thank you id advance for your advice.

Regards.

Christian

Thank you very much Paul Beuk.

Here is a ventral view of genitalia showing the loop of the penis and confirming (it seems to me) your identification for Empis nuntia male.

Best regards.
