What family of fly?
Cor Zonneveld
I saw this fly in Holland, at the bank of the river Meuse, early June last year. It's sitting at Buttercup, so it's rather small - well, at least not BIG; let's say somewhere between 5 and 7 mm.

I hope there's enough to go on for a family guess - or better!

Flower rich riverbank, close by oak forest on river dunes.
Thanks for your attention

I'd say a female Fannia. Frons is narrow -> F. fuscula ?

I'm sorry for delay, Cor, - damn influenza and damn non-tropical climat Grin
Fannia fuscula is a common species of first half of summer, but I started to learn Fanniidae only last summer and started with males. In august, when I males became rare I moved my attantion to females, but too late for F.fuscula females...
Today I examined females of F.fuscula in Museum.
Nothing to add to Stephane's ID...

Talking about delay...My response is not too quick either!

Thanks very much for the effort Nikita! And Stephane too, of course!
Thanks for your attention
