Certainly Phthiria, and fits the description of Phthiria gaedii very well. Pretty fly!

Now we have some pictures made in the wild. These creatures are frequent visitors of a certain Polygonaceae bush which flowers are rich with nectar (can't tell exactle what is it yet), especially early in the morning and at sunsets.
Pictures taken on 29.09.2006 in sand dunes, Side.
