This 6-7mm long (with wings) fly landed the leaf of a small elderberry plant (sambucus sp.) when I was standing in front of it. It then walked around the top of the leaf and as I tried to photograph slowly walked underneath the leaf then onto an adjacent leaf. It was in a sunlit patch on a very shady dirt road lined with mixed mature trees. @26 Sept.. 2021 @ 15:05 pm Scherrebektalhttps://www.flens...1453098009, Flensburg, N.Germany @ 54.759794, 9.423415 Many Thanks in advance, Ray All my identified insect observations are recorded on Observation.org:- https://observati...3/species/ Ray Perry attached the following image:  [299.64Kb] Edited by Ray Perry on 27-09-2021 09:54 |

Poor images but I hope the leg spine arrangement helps with an ID.
