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 |
