Dear all,
this fly I ffound on the island of Thasos, prefecture Thasos on 26.04.2018.
It´s around 0.5 to 1 cm in size and here sitting on Saxifraga rotundifolia. Maybe it is identifyable?
Thanks for any help.
Alex

Empidoidea, probably Rhamphomyia

Thanks for the idea of determination! Could you please comment on potentially Hybotidae ?

John is right, Rhamphomyia (Holoclera) sp. Long proboscis rules out virtually all Hybotidae.
