hello flyforum, This fly look-likes Dolichopodidae to me.. I found some of these D. species today. It was rather typical because of: dark pterostigma dark black hairs, but also gold-yellow around scutum. yellow/white line on segment 2 Abdomen was bended downwards.

Robert Is it perhaps Chrysopilus ? maybe close to cristatatus but not quite - This is Rhagionidae - Chrysopilus are delicately legged flies , the body initially clothed in golden pubescence soon lost .I'll get back on the species. Robert (two Roberts) |

For future reference: the rather complicated wing venation immediately sets this fly apart from all dolichopodids.

Chrysopilus it is. I think it will be C. cristatus (= auratus).

Hi Robert, Kahis and Paul, I am really surprised! I think it's size and the redish big eyes put me on the wrong path.. And to hear that this is Rhagionidae is also not what I expected. From this family I only know and have seen bigger species. Thanks a lot for your reaction! greeting, Robert II
