Again from Nikita: he still thinks it's a Notiphila. At least in Thailand it was the commonest shore fly on rice paddies. |

It works finallly, thank you Paul. I don't think that it is Notiphila, it is Notiphila! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I agree with Kahis and Nikita - this is Notiphila. Perhaps Nikita could post one of his great Notiphila photos on the gallery?
