I suspect this is a Platypezid female.

Well done! This fly is very rarely seen as an adult. Not a single adult fly has been caught in Finland, but the galls (on polypores) are not that uncommon.

Kahis One hour ago I was looking at this fly again It seems to be very attracted to a jung plant of Prunus padus And to Stephane, the colour is correct // Ragne |
