I saw this Catharosia (?) from Viseu, in 11th AUGUST 2014 . It was wandering over the soil and in shadowy place. Around 4 mm size. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 18-08-2014 12:26 |

Yes, that might very well be Catharosia, though it looks interesting. Are there apical scutellar bristles present ? Palpus present ? Theo |

I think it would help to see the whole fly - legs included. Dorsally too - and the antennae.  Catharosia pygmaea can have pale forms and then there is the rare flavifrons ... not sure if there are others
