Thank you Jorge and Cranefly for your reactions to this nice fly. I put another picture of this unfortunate Scatella paludum to see that this is a man.

Sorry, but this identification needs correction. On the second photo I see greenish metallic shining abdomen. If it is one and the same fly on the two photoes, then 2 fr-or setae from the first photo + metallic abdomen = Setacera sp., male, can be determined to species from genitalia only.:S

Hello Cranefly,
Yes, this is the same greenish fly, so thank you very much for the Setacera spec.!!

Hedy
