Since looking into the species shown under Rhagionidae, however, a further question arises for me i.e.: What arguments are against Chrysopilus asiliformis?
What argements are for
C. asiliformis? ;)
The wing pattern of darkened wing tip and crossveins is typical for a few
Rhagio species, chiefly
R. scolopaceus in northern and central Europe. The pattern isn't too well visible is you photograph (diffuse dark spots against a dark backgroud), but it is there.
Rhagionids seem to darken very fast after hatching, so this still pale fly must have hatched minute s before you found it!
