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! Hans Haleun attached the following image:  [153.8Kb] Edited by Haleun on 08-07-2016 16:35 |

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 !!). theo |

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 Haleun attached the following image:  [195.88Kb] |

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 Theo |
