Hi! On May 20th, I observed this hover fly on a bush next to a path in vineyards north of Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg. Can it be identified? Thank you very much in advance. Best wishes Ina inasiebert attached the following image:  [210.06Kb] Edited by inasiebert on 22-05-2020 09:23 |

hm, why can't this be X. dives? Yellow pleura near the halteres and the wing tip might be darkened (although it is a male).
Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated. My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated. |
