Just a confirmation of the family would help me a lot. Sierra de Cazorla, Jaén province, southeastern Spain. 25 March 2020. Feeding on nectar of box (Buxus sempervirens) flowers, and apparently transferring pollen and behaving as a legitimate pollinator. cmherrera attached the following image:  [223.39Kb] Edited by cmherrera on 16-09-2020 16:44 |

Hi, from what I can see, it could be Greenomyia mongolica. A lateral shot may help to be sure. Greetings, Eric |

Good enough to exclude Greenomyia with coxa I and II black. Wings with dark patches, antenna base yellow? Dynatosoma? Eric |
