Dear forum, I took this picture today in my garden. The fly resembles a fly which I photographed earlier this year and which was identified here as Hydrophoria lancifer. But on this one I noticed two strong upright setae on the back which were not visible on the earlier picture. Is Hydrophoria lancifer correct?

Probably is Hydrophoria lancifer; the apical scutellar bristles (or at least one of them) seem to be bent upwards, perhaps damaged |

Dear Michael, Thank you very much for your reply. Looking back at what I wrote above I should have written ...which was identified here as a PROBABLE..... Beste regards, Niek |
