Thanks! :)
This Myopa must be really an old fly. I spotted this fly using averted vision among the vegetation. (I'm an amateur astronomer and I used to use many times this vision to see pale globular and open clusters and enhance more stars).
This fly was very near in one nice place (precisely where I spotted the famous fly acrocerid Cyrtus gibbus) and in spite of the very windy day, in that place due the fact is protected by the many trees around, I could spot in 2 hours about over 200 flies easily. :P
