Hi

* locality - Pa?l de Arzila - Coimbra - PORTUGAL
* date - 2007.06.28
* size - 7 mm (medium fly)
* habitat - marshes
* substrate - leaves.

Stratiomyidae without doubts.
Oplodontha but not sure if this can be O. viridula...

EDIT ---> Title changed from "Oplodontha cf. viridula??" to "Stratiomyidae - Oplodontha viridula"

can anyone confirm this? Is it really Oplodontha viridula? Thank you.

Yes, Jorge. That head shape and abdomen colour are pretty distinctive.
