Hello,
On 27 October 2019 in the south of France.
The fly (11 mm) was preparing to sleep on a grass stalk.
It groomed itself and looked for the best position for the night.
Thank you for your help in identifying us.

Hi Helge and Juergen,
Thank you very much,
I noted Cheilosia sp. because I think it will be difficult to determine the species? I tried to take details (black and white top of the antennas, pilosity of the scutellum, hairless eyes, legs) but I don't know if the criteria are readable enough.
