Hi :)
During a walk in Bologna (northen Italy), I've encountered this fly. To my eyes, it looks very similar to both Pirellia vivida and Neomyia cornicina; but which one is it? Thanks!
Bye

Metallic Muscidae usually have fewer acrostichal bristles than the three pairs on this fly.

Thank you both for the identification and clarification of metallic muscidae.
