 Hello!
This fly was found on 18. March 2009 near Grombalia (northeast Tunisia) on fallow land.

Can someone help to identify this fly?

Regards
Andreas

 This is a male Platynochaetus sp., and it looks like P. setosus. But I must add there are more species of the genus in Northern Africa, so it's not a 100% ID!
