Hello, I found this fly In mid-august in North Rhine-Westfalia, Germany
According to the antennae it should be C. fagesi, C. marcquarti or C. rufa.
Does C. rufa always has completly yellow legs?

Because of the following combination,I identified it as C. macquartii. Thanks to Meeno Reemer for some help.
- antennal segment 2 no more than half as long as antennal segment 1; antennal segment 3 twice as long as antennal
segments 1 + 2 together

- mesoscutum with longitudinal stripes of grey dusting
mediall, wings almost entirely covered in microtrichia,
legs with at least all femora mostly black and tarsomeres 3-5 of all legs black,

and

- Scutellar disc with many hairs no longer than antennal segment 1; hairs on general body surface orange to whitish yellow, straight; abdominal tergites almost without black hairs; all tibiae orange
