After a very long absence during which I've had to dedicate my time to other things, I'm back to my beloved flies ;). I'm decidedly out of practice, so probably I'm way off the mark, but would this be a Sciomyzidae? Photographed a couple of days ago in long grass near Rome in Italy, about 4 mm long.

Nice to see you here again, Sarah!

I see the time hasn't dulled your dipterologist's senses: the fly is indeed a sciomyzid.

Feels like I've never been away ;), thanks to you both, Sarah.

Sarah,

They have already told it, therefore I don't have anything to say in addition, and I'll keep quiet...

Welcome back.
