Hello!
Is this fly from today (from Leipzig, Saxony, Germany) Bibio anglicus or another species (Bibio hortulanus)?
Best regards,
Maik

Hi Maik, the milky wings and (if I see right) the fair hairs on the sides of the thorax lead to B. hortulanus - but I'm not absolutely sure.

Wing venation is obvious hortulanus. Hortulanus has a milky wing TIP as well shown. B anglicus has different wing venation, no milky tip and .... does not occur so far east.
