Those very orange legs must narrow down the options? Not one I have ever seen (here in the UK) though.

Cool fly!
I'd say a female Cheilosia flavipes. (allthough I'm not sure, I have never seen one in real)

Bye, Jonas

Hello Nigel and Jonas,

thanks for your attention!
C. flavipes - our name is our motto - hold I for a very good possibility.
Perhaps is there still another opinion?

Regards, Frank

Cheilosia flavipes (female) for sure - there are no other possibilities:
- bare eyes, not haire facial knob, completly yellow legs, black stutellum without bristles, broad eye rings, size >=10mm, date around 1 may in Germany, rounded tip of wings, yellow 3rd segment of antennae

I looked also at the shape of face of my specimens (1 may 2012 - Reda,Poland) - the same.

Males of Ch. flavipes are a little bit more difficult to determine because of haired eyes and blackish femora...

Cheers
Robert Zoralski
