In my opinion the ID character has been omitted by Ruud ...
It's another species:
Neoleria ruficeps. Andrzej

The bristles on the 3rd femur are very small. I have here specimens with much bigger bristles. If you look laterally at the fly the bristles are hardly bigger than the hairs near it.

though the environment for N. ruficeps is known to be around mushrooms.
But too late now to go back upstairs. Tomorrow too early out of bed for a business trip.

Only now I had time to go upstairs to my little room and look at the fly again. Indeed my cheeks are still blushing; I really overlooked the bristled on the hind femur. It is absultely, as Andrzej, said a male N. ruficeps. I am very pleased with the specimen, since it is the first Dutch one in my collection. I have two other males from Hungary.
I have to say, Andrzej, that it looks to me that the bristles on their femore a slighter bigger. Is there such a variability in the size of these bristles, Andrzej? I ahve to say that all the Hungarian Heleomyzidae have been checked by Laci during the last year during my stay in Hungary.
