Is it possible to name these flies..?
The male has three white stripes on the back.
I found them in Curacao 4-6-2018

Seems to be (close to)
Scenopinus pygmaeus but that species is described to have only two white bands on the abdomen but it does have its milky white wings; its female should have dark red-brown pleura.

On internet are pictures of this fly with three stripes, but it is just called: Scenopinus.
It sure has three stripes....
Thank you for your reaction Paul!
