Hi, Some years ago I saw this fly species now and then but could not get good pictures - sorry. Nevertheless I hope to find out a name with your help. In Pallopteridae there are several species with orange shiny abdomen and spotted wings, but the wing patterns I found in the literature did not fully match. So who knows this fly? Seen in Berlin in September 2012. Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [282.51Kb] Edited by Sundew on 19-02-2019 13:53 |

He Sundew. Somehow you went into the wrong family: Females of Geomyza balachowski/hackmani (Opomyzidae). |

Oops - how embarrassing... For a short moment I considered Opomyzidae, too, but I supposed G. balachowskyi/hackmani to have a more or less homogeneously dark abdomen like the one in https://diptera.i...d_id=14622 or in my added picture from Austria (below). However, in the linked thread Jan Willem mentions a "more striped" appearance of G. balachowskyi, which agrees well. As G. balachowskyi but not G. hackmani is said to occur in Berlin, I hope I found the right name almost certainly - thank you so much!
