 Hello,

I photographed this fly in Vallone di San Bernolfo (CN), Italy, 2070m a.s.l. on August 20th 2024. I think it is an Acroceridae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species based on these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

 Looks very much like Acrocera orbiculus (female).

Greetings,
