Hello!

This fly from yesterday night at a tree in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany) was smaller than the many, many Polietes lardarius, only the size of a house fly. Can it be Polietes domitor? Thanks in advance!

Many thanks! I had considered Muscina, but when I looked at my older photos, the flies had mostly a stronger curved vein like in this individual:

Definitely Muscina levida. The bend/curve in M varies a lot between individuals.
