I photographed this fly on 19th Aug 2007 close to Etosha NP in Namibia. Does anybody know its identity?
Thanks

It's always interesting to see african diptera, thanks. Considering that we seldom get a positive ID on the european species you shouldn't get your hopes up too much.

It's a species of the subfamily Apocleinae. Jason Londt revised the
Neolophonotus group and described nearby 5 new genera and hundrets of species. So we aren't able to identify the genus without checking some characteristics of the male genitalia. Yours
PS: The mystax is remarkable!
