Hello,
I don't kow what species is this fly.
She looks like Phaonia serva but thorax and tibia 2 setaes don't match.
Or it is an Hydrotaea ?

Hi Jessica. If you find at 2000 m asl something Phaonia-like but not Phaonia; Hydrotaea-reminds but not Hydrotaea, it means that you met Thricops!
Th. longipes (with very small "?" mark)

Hi Nikita,
Oh great, thank you very much :)
So it's an altitude species ? And how can I differenciate nigrifrons from longipes ?

Yes, for Central Europe it is alpine species. (In N Russia - very common everywhere.)
For identification see my key here:

And for C Europe 2050 m is normaly too much for Th. nigrifrons.
