Hope I don't get struck off the list for this "loving" photo Shock. Can anyone help me identify this happy couple? As ever, taken in the maquis on the coast near Rome.

Thanks in advance, Smile Sarah

I think I am not far off by suggesting Anthomyiidae for this one.

Shape of lower calypter, feminized male head, strong setation etc. suggest that the happy couple belong to a species of Coenosia (Muscidae).
