I would appreciate if you could help me with this one too.
It was quite large, aprox. 1 cm. Shot at 1800 masl in sunny mountain slope on some type of apium family plant with very small flowers. 03/08/2008
Thanks,
Guillermo.

any chance of a lateral head shot ?
It looks quit Dexiini, in which case Zeuxia sicardi comes in mind.
Which is very rare indeed.
Did you collect it ?

I did not collect it. In general I go quite light weighted.
This is the closest I can get to a lateral head shot. I will try to be more carefull next time with the orientation of the shots.

I think your camera weights much more than this fly ??

Yes, that is true. I should probably start to carry some bottles for capture and some type of net. The thing is that most of the photos I do during my work as a geologist in the field so I normally also have to take a hammer.

as the English snooker-commentator would say
"Well, you can't pot them all"
Still pity

Thanks Theo. Does that mean that we do not have the family? Next time, at least I will try to breathe deep and try to dedicate some more time to some lateral head shots.

Family is Tachinidae and Theo thought it was possibly from the tribe Dexiini :)
