Hello,

I am not an expert in Diptera ID and I am struggling to find even the family of this fly. Is it possible to have some ID? It was taken in a private garden in the suburb of Paris (Houilles) on June 30th.

Thanks in advance!

The family is Conopidae and genus Thecophora.

Thecophora sp. Atra ?

A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact.

Thecophora atra species-group, probably cinerascens.
