 Hello,

I photographed this fly in Gole di Celano (AQ), Italy, 1100m a.s.l. on November 5th 2024. In this case I'm not sure about which family it may belong to. Could you please help me with its identification?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
