Hello !
At the beginning I thought that my diptera was a Xylophagidae. However, I have now a big doubt ! Is this can be an Asilidae (Dioctria something...)?

Dioctria spot on. Maybe D. hyalipennis?

Hello,

Dioctria hyalipennis would have a more obsure dusting on the scutum. This one looks more like D. linearis, but in some way also different, so I'm not quite sure. There seem to be some yellow markings on the abdomen as in linearis and some other species, but not in hyalipennis. Finally: Dioctria spec.

Greetings, Danny
