I found this two bombyliids in Barcelos, Portugal yesterday (16/03/2008). I don't know if they belong to different species or not, because it seems that they interact with each other.

Thanks Davis, but unfortunately I don't have pictures from other angles.
Is it possible, at least, to be sure about the genus?
