Hello! This 8 mm long fly sat at the border of a forest track near a pond, near Zwickau (SE Saxony, Germany). Can you identify its species and sex?  Thank you in advance, Xaver |

Difficult to say for sure, without the pterostigma being visible, but I think it is R. lineola, one of the smaller species in the genus, that has a more or less unicolorous greyish mesonotum and rings on the tips of the fore and hind femora.
