Hello,
this fly was found on July 5 on the cemetery of Dannenwalde in Brandenburg, Germany.
It is about 4 mm.

Is an identification possible?
Thank you very much for an answer!

Ai, the wing venation is totally out of focus.
Do you have any picture with a better view on the wing venation ?

In any case, it is a species of Acrocera and it is a female (yes, those ' male ' genitalia are female !!).

Hi Theo,
thank you for your reply!
Perhaps this picture might be a help?

I had just a few seconds to react. The fly approached my eyes, and I swept it to the ground.

Cheers,
Hans

THanks !

THe right wing is actually - by total accident - in focus in the last pic !
So it is Acrocera orbicula, sometimes placed in Paracrocera, which seems to be oversplitting to me.
It is pretty yellow, though, hence my first doubts

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