Hello,

this photo is from last july from the alps in Switzerland from about 1500m height. Because of the wings I even can't guess the family. Muscidae? Syrphidae perhaps?

Can anything be said about this fly? Length was about 9mm.

Thanks,
Michael

Reminds me of Cheilosia variabilis...

It's a Cheilosia, but not variabilis. In that species the hairs on the tergites are all pale, whereas in this specimen they are partly black. There are several black-legged species in the Alps, I don't know which one this is...

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
