Hi, this very nice fly seems to have a lot of details that can help with ID. Where shall I put this one ? August 10. 2008 Helsinki, Finland.

I just wonder if this nice looking fly can be a member of Odiniidae ? I have never seen one and have none in my collections.

Sure. Odinia sp., and probably Odinia boletina Ztt.

Thank You Valery :) With the key from Bei-Bienko it seem to be indeed boletina. Third one from Finland :D

It is not O. boletina (well, at least not as the species is currently understood). I'd say this is O. ornata (Zett.) sensu Krivosheina, which may or may not be the same as O. rossi MacGowan & Rotheray, 2004.

Ok, Bei-Bienko key is the only one I have and with that it was clear boletina. Hmmm, in my side ornata is even better :D I have one from 2006 and Kahis has it in his collections and now I have one for me. :D Seems to be as rare as boletina. Thank You for correcting the ID.
