Turkey, Side, sand dunas-pine forest, 150% size of M. jacula.
I thought it is Medetera diadema, but legs have to be yellow or dirty-yellow?
Female

I checked this Medetera.
Certanly it isn't M.diadema. It seems that no one of Russian species fit with this fly.

This Doli belongs to a group fasciata-striata-setiventris-signaticornis. I am afraid it is not possible to identify without making preparation of genitalia.

Thank you Igor.
I've came to M.striata too, but it doesn't fit with M.striata description...
