Another request from a friend... This fly was photographed a week ago by Alessandro Girodo on a river bank near Turin in northern Italy. It was about 1.5 cm and under an oak leaf.

Thanks from me and Ale, Sarah.

I am at a loss with this one. I think it must be a Sargus bipunctatus female with strange abdominal colouration

At a loss? Words I never thought to hear from you Tony Pfft. Thanks tons for having a try, if no-one else has anything to add, I'll refer back your judgement. Sarah.
