Hello!

Can anyone identify this fly on the photo? Its length was about 13 mm, and it sat on a meadow near Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany.

Thanks a lot, Freddy...

Looks like a drone-fly, Eristalis spp. Maybe a Eristalis tenax ?

Hello,

I seem to see one hair row on the eye. This would confirm E. tenax.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
