Aigüestortes, Pyrenees, Lerida, NE Spain. In a very special lake with Potamogeton natans.
Much smaller than Rhagio scolopaceus/tringarius. Size as an Haematopota.
Thanks

Well, yellow pterostigma and grey femora = maybe Rh. annulatus. But not good picture, so I am not sure.
Isidro, are you able and willing to collect some Rhagionidae in your region and send me them?

well , to me the pterostigma looks more greyish (nearer from the blackish ones) than yellowish.

Libor, this is not my region, in fact is a very special zone, like a patch of northern Europe put in the Pyrenees with some unique fauna and rare flora.
This is the only time that I saw a fly like it. I was with Jorge so I tried to catch it for be collected but the rhagionid though that is not good idea and flied away without let me collect it.
If I see it again I will collect, but I doubt that this will happen.
Thanks

Jorge, maybe you are right and the pterostigma is darker. The picture is not such good to see all colors correctly. Mayba the whole animal is greyish, including wings. I do not see antennae well, so maybe not Rhagio, but Symphoromyia???
Isidro, I ment Rhagionidae not only from this region, but from the whole Spain ;)
