Based on the wing pattern, are there any alternatives? Abdominal pattern looks unusual for D. immigrans Germany, late March

Not quite sure, which is often the case with Drosophila pictures. I would not exclude D. kuntzei. If you have the specimen, check if it has a row of denticles on the inner side of fore femur - if yes, then it is immigrans. |

Well, I was under the impression that the tips of the longitudinal veins were also darkened - but this seems to be not the case: In addition, here is a glimpse on the inner foreleg, where I would expect to see the row of bristles:  So D. immigrans seems to be ruled out. Apart from D. kuntzei, would D. limbata or histrio also be a possibility? Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

Not D. histrio which has triangular spots on abdomen. The present fly has parallel-sided strips. It looks like they are only narrowly interrupted medially, so my choice is (probably) D.kuntzei. Btw, mesonotum seems me too glossy for immigrans. |
