but last week. This time I did not see this sp.

Habitat: shallow puddle of salty drainage water
Size: 7-8 mm
His location and position look as he try fish out pry from the water by use special hairs in his front lag tarsus

This photo show the hairs and long bristles at the tarsus

---

This specimen (next 2 photos) look similar the first one
But I'm not sure if belong to same species

Photographed at same location at different place

Same as the 3th photo

I think, genus Thinophilus

Thanks for the ID
I understand the 2 r the same sp.

Again
According the Check list of Dolichopodidae of Israel
http://grichanov....Israel.htm
This can be Thinophilus flavipalpis Zetterstedt, 1843

You are right, Thinophilus flavipalpis.
Please note, I have included many more Israeli species into:
A checklist and keys to Dolichopodidae (Diptera) of the Caucasus and East Mediterranean. - VIZR RAAS (Plant Protection News, Supplement) 2007: 1-160. ISSN 1815-3682.
