In the Ardeche, 5 August on stone wall near house. Rather big for an Ulidiidae as far as I have seen them.

NO!!! MUCH BETTER!!!
Cephalia rufipes!! Lucky you!
This is a rare species. I only saw it once!
There are around 25 specimens, mostly old, in the main European collections!

Submit it for the gallery. I only put the head profile of this fantastic fly.

May you show the habitat photo as well? I'm curious.

habitat is not too exciting: just an artificial rock wall...
