Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Who can ID a shadow?

Tetanocera (Sciomyzidae) - the tarsal colour is right and the diagonal stance on the leaf is characteristic for this genus.
[only joking about the stance!]

Tetanocera was also my first thought! Or perhaps a scatophagid.

Voila answer! Tony and Kahis - you 50% win! Answer came after 2 sec!
Nanna (articulatum?) (collected).

Here's another one. This one should be very easy

Stomoxys calcitrans

#8
it cannot be Stomoxys with that hairy body.
perhaps bombyliid...
(lol... i IDed with species level! forget!
#9
Jorge, I think your ID as
Stomoxys calcitrans is correct!
#10
It is
Stomoxys calcitrans indeed
Jorge wins this round!
#11
Damn! The image didn't attached! I'm sorry
The joke was that after a second the fly appeared and got pure Sciaridae!
#12
Or, to be more precise it was like on last image.
(last image made with flash, but on same grass steam)
#13
fantastic natural history moment!
The "cat and mouse" scene.

As for ID - Andrey Ozerov working on collected fly - it is Nanna articulata or Nanna multisetosa (syn. of N.flavipes, but Andrey think that it was uncorrectly synonymized by Siftner).

Couple days I helped in Nanna observation.
I can say, that it is almost impossible to get such series of photos!
