Hello!

I found this distinctive fly early morning sitting on a leaf of quince-tree in my garden, Hungary. I have seen resembling species from genus Chrysopilus in the gallery. Is it identifiable more closely from these photos? Thank you in advance.
Photo was taken in 4th of June 2008.

Hello!

Could it be a Chrysopilus laetus? The wingpattern is slightly diverse though. Thank you in advance!

hi,
I think there are two orange species it could be and that one is commoner than the other but I can't help further. Perhaps you have identified it elsewhere by now?

C. luteolus is the other orange one to consider, but I think it is slightly darker and that yours is indeed laetus

a nice fly to find in your garden
