In the Palaearctic software key I just get to
Clemelis but it is hard to say for sure from the photos because it is difficult to judge some of the measurement or fine details.

Theo... the links works, but we must put www. before. :(
diptera.info doesn't recognize URL without www. , so it drive us always to the main page! :S

That's a male.
Must have been more in the series, hardly possible to see that this is M. collaris.
