Canary Islands, Fuerteventura, Costa Calma, 22 March 2009
From this specimen I have only one picture. Is it possible to identify the fly? Thank you.

Vermileonidae! The ant-lion-fly :) Wing fits. Don't mind Roger, they are hardly found there where You live.

Probably
Lampromyia (Vermileonidae).

No, it's not Empis or related. Totally different wingvenation. And what seems to be the proboscis on this picture, probably is its right leg 3 clinging to the plant.
To my opinion this belongs to the
Athericidae, or closely related.

Thank you all for discussion with happy end. For me its the first member of family Vermileonidae.
