Flower visitor on Pulmonaria officinalis on a sunny day (April 2022) in a garden in Burscheid (Bergisches Land / Germany). Pictures 1-2 and 3-6 do not necessarily show the same individual (same spot, but a time difference of 2 hours). The darkened edge of the abdomen (particularly image 5) points to Rhingia campestris, but Rhingia rostrata, on the other hand, is described as “brightly coloured”, which I think also applies. I would be grateful for your opinion.

Hello Hans Theo, additionally, the feet are mainly black: R. campestris - rostrata has red legs. (André Schulten: Fotogids Zweefvliegen)

Hello Eric,
thank you very much for the confirmation of Rhingia campestris and the additional information that blew away all doubts that still existed.
Best wishes,
Hans Theo

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
