Why not Tolmerus atricapillus? It is a female and they are very hard to ID.

You are not fly-blind  the problem is that these Tolmerus females are pretty difficult to identify properly. T. atricapillus is a rather common species, the other two (strandi/micans) are rather rare. If you find accompanying males that would help to narrow it down.

Understand - most common almost makes most sense I still have to learn a lot about them... Thanks and regards Stella, who will keep an eye on the fly-guys  |
