Hi, these flies occur now very frequently on meadows. Is ID possible? (Germany, Saxony, July 2017) The pictures are from 2 specimen, but I guess they belong to the same species. Thank you, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image: [127.09Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 24-07-2017 15:29 |

Thanks John, Estheria looks quite good. Your questionmark together with picta motivated me to search for the species flying in Germany. I have found 4: E. bohemani, E. cristata, E. petiolata and E. picta. Today I have visited the place again and photographed a male. Marion Friedrich attached the following image: [128.16Kb] |
