Hello,

this fly puzzles me... I have only this photo from a distance of 3 m or so. It was not small, maybe 10-12 mm, but I have no idea, what it could be. Is it possible to tell the family at least?
Found on a fallow by a small creek today (northwest Germany).

Conops quadrifasciatus, I’d say.

ok, that's very likely Wink. There are many of them around these days. Don't know, why I did not recognize this one from the frontal perspective.

Thanks a lot!

But ... the first two new ones don’t seem right. Look more like flavipes.

ah, yes. The colour of the legs and the narrower stripes on the abdomen resemble more C. flavipes. That species is not as abundant here as quadrifasciatus, but I had one in mid July, also in our courtyard.

Thanks for your attention!
Best regards,
Jürgen

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
