Hello flyforum, This morning I saw this kind of fly near The AmsterdamWoodforest. My first impression was syrphidae but with a better look it is not. Looking at the bristles(?)/spines(?) on the end of the scutellum and further some heavy metatarsers(3) it fits more to Dilophus sp.(male) I think.. Penthetria sp. does not have eyes like these (male eyes does't stick together) I don't see any spines on the frontal leg (not Bibio), the antenna is quite long and strong. Legs shows a bit yellow/light braun and black. size ~ 7-8 mm greetings, Robert Heemskerk Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [54.86Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 29-04-2006 12:51 |

This looks like one of the first Beris chalybata of this year. A soldier fly.
