Nice fly ... at first I thought Phryxe but then I noticed the hairs on the parafacial and I am thinking more like Winthemia or Epicampocera succincta. It all hangs on how many katepisternal / sternopleural bristles it has and I can't quite see that area clearly on these photos Smile

Many thanks Chris - I'll check maybe there's some better lateral views.

With 2 katepisternals it should be a Winthemia spp. Smile but I don't know which species Sad

With such a red ass, it's bound to be Winthemia.
Best guess is W. quadripustulata
