Hello!

I have seen the pictures of Kirbya moerens here, but although similar in colouration, my fly looks someway different. Can it be, that all previous Kirbya were males, and mine is a female? (Then also my sightings in former years were males.)
Today resting on stone at forest (northwest Germany) at 8-10 ?C, size of a normal house fly (8-10 mm).

Nope, it is the male of Campylochaeta praecox.
Kirbya is a more southern species (up to Switzerland / southern Germany perhaps).

Many thanks! That is a new species for me... Smile

So, the flies in this older thread are not Kirbya moerens, as you suggested at that time?

I don't see the problem, that fly is very different (topcel clearly stalked), so it still seems Kirbya to me.

I wondered, because you wrote, that Kirbya moerens is a southern species (up to Switzerland/maybe southern Germany). But those photos were also taken here in northwest Germany (edge of Teutoburger Wald).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Ok, I see the 'problem', need to check the literature.
Anyway, those are 100 % 2 different species
