That seems to be Paracraspedothix (one species only: montivaga).

Any info on habitat of this fly ?

I always think that it lives in wet woodland, kitchen windows and shady driveways (from the localities that were reported to me) Smile These all seem to point towards a species that attacks something on shade-loving plants.

Hello Theo and Chris,

Right, I found it in a rather shady park here nearby.

Regards,
Hedy

Sounds like idea habitat - damp, shady woodland
