A new day, a new family :)
[Had to stop the Sciomyzidae, no answers yesterday :(]
A beautyful fly on a thistle in a dry sunny biotop (rocks). Would be glad for any hint now. Frank

Hi Frank,
Looks like
Campiglossa absinthii, although the second hyaline spot in cell R4+5 is too big. Did you by any chance collect the specimen?
A second look, seems te reveal that the apical scutellar bristles are hardly developped, which would say it should be a
Dioxyna rather than a
Campiglossa, on the other hand the wingpattern is far too well pronounced for a
Dioxyna. So having a specimen at hand would be very usefull.
Cheers John

Hi John, that sounds difficult. I catch every specimen - if possible. I?m not interested in collecting flies (there are to many uncollected beetles), so everybody can have everything. But it?s also possible to take more photos, if I know, which part should be extra sharp ;) Greetings Frank

Hi Frank,
If you have this specimen I would absolutely be interested to study it.
I'll send you my address.
Best wishes,
John
