Phaonia, yes. errans, no.
P. errans male has the frontal orbits touching and the hind femur yellow (see http://www.dipter...post_12297).
I'd say this is more likely Phaonia perdita.

From 24 aug.
R4+5 bare, ntpl with hairs. Could I send it to Gallery as Ph. perdita?

If it was from Britain, I'd say send it in as perdita, but I don't know if you have other species in Russia that could be confused with it. Maybe Kahis can help?

Thank you Tony.
According Bey-Bienko key it is Ph. perdita (for female it is even easier that for male).
