 Hi,

From a friend living in northeastern France (Alsace).
Wetland near a small creek.
He thinks it may be Pandivirilia caesia.
Is that correct ?

 Hello evdb & Paul,

Experience has thaught me that the vague blackishness in the middle of the tergites is the feature of P. caesia. P. melaleuca is far more silverish, compact and misses the yellow wing base. See: https://diptera.i...ost_398414

Kind regards,
Ectemnius
