I have seen nothing in these pictures that is in contradiction with Cyrtus gibbus as described in Die Fliegen der palaearktischen Region by Sack (1936).



:) And it was spotted here before.
Anyway one of the most interesting flies I've ever seen since Myopa picta. :)

Is there any information about the size of planidium for these flies?? Any scheme how it seems?
I didn?t know that "They are cosmopolitan in distribution but rarely observed in most places; the majority of the over 500 species are known from fewer than 10 specimens." in wikipedia.org . It lacks there a link for diptera gallery. :D
