Hello,

Can this ...phasia sp. be identified?

Data: Germany, Lower Saxony, Hanover, 60 m, Hermann-Löns-Park, 3 August 2021.

I'm confused, because in your gallery the species Ectophasia crassipennis (male) seems to have very differently colored wings, see here:
- https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=251
- https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=1354
Is this really correct?

Regards,
Tina.

Hello Tina,

it is a male Ectophasia crassipennis. The wing colouration is very variable.
