Hello, is it possible to say more to this Helophilus? Unfortunately I have only this one picture of it. August 4, 2007, Arnschwang, Bavaria, Germany. Regards Ingrid Ingrid Altmann attached the following image:  [130.31Kb] |

Since neither hind legs nor face is visible, it must remain as Helophilus sp. (m). |

On closer examination, the right hind femur seems to be just visible beneath the right wing. There seems to be onlt a tiny spot of yellow at the tip. This would accord with male Helophilus hybridus which often have the sports on tergite 4 barely visible, as this one. |

Thank you very much for your efforts Karsten! Then it is justifiable to archive the fly under Helophilus cf. hybridus. In attachment a detail of the femur.
