Hello!
These flies occupied the blossoms of Euphorbia sp. They were by the dozen on this plants mating, feeding etc. Wide pasture in Hungary, with lots of blossoming Euphorbia.
Small sized ~4-5mm? (20th of May 2008). I hope someone able to identify it.

Last year this species was published in Diptera.Info under the name Poecilobothrus sp. Now I see that the most probable version is
Hercostomus fuscipennis (Meigen, 1824) [Dolichopus] *
