Hi
Photos taken today (blurry...) in VISEU. I went to garden and saw a fly in leaf litter. Very dark fly, and small. Which can be this fly?
Thank you.

My
guess
is a female
Melanophora roralis
(Rhinophoridae) - hunting for woodlice.

Sounds as a good guess.
However, the wings are completely dark, suggesting rather a male.
Males are 'notorious' sun-bathers.
