 I'd hazzard a guess at a Phorocera sp. ... not obscura Smile

 Ph. assimilis is an excellent ID. Grandis does not occur in het Amsterdamse Bos.

 Thank you very much Theo for your comment.

size 10-15mm could be a bit to much, 10-12mm is a better indication I think?

 Grandis is no bigger than assimilis, (or assimilis is no smaller) so don't worry

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
