Hello,

i am writing you from germany so please dont look at misspelling and grammar:-)

i found this fly on my macrotrip yesterday morning.

Location are a wetland-biotop, approx in the middle between Hannover and Paderborn. I took the photo in the evening at 7.p.m.

In another german forum somebody gave me the note, that it could be a soldierfly (Odontomyia argentata).

what is you opinion?

Thanks for you time.

cheers Mathias
