I found this fly in early September on a rotten log of a hybrid poplar, in the Parc de Woluwé in Brussels. I cannot even put a family name on it, although ObsIdentify suggests it is a Helemyzidae... Any views on that? A high resolution version of the picture is available here https://www.flickr.com/photos/42244964@N03/50338801192 best regards Frank FrankVassen attached the following image:  [64.92Kb] Edited by FrankVassen on 13-09-2020 23:13 |

Probably, according to this website, male of Paraclusia tigrina ...

Dear Frank, it is P. tigrina. Note please that among European Druid-flies it the only species with such wing clouding :-) .

Also note Paraclusia was synonymized with Clusia a while ago, so it is Clusia tigrina.
