Copenhagen, Denmark may 17, 2017.

I saw it as E. flava, but not without problems. It has black genae and mouth and no duststripes on scutum. Could it be E. melanostoma ( rare, but known from North-East Zeeland).

Still looks like E. flava to me. The presence of black colouration along the oral margin is variable, and so is the visibilty of the (quite subtle) dust stripes on the mesoscutum, depending on lighting and viewing angle. The shape of the abdominal fasciae and the partly yellow hind tarsus suggest E. flava.

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
