dear fly-reader,

On August 9th I found this little Sciomyzidae sp. on the flower Plantago lanceolata in Amsterdam/Beatrixpark.
I took the picture only from one side, you do not have a good view on the wings..
size: ~6-10mm
But perhaps someone can give me a direction for this type of fly?

Grey-ish underpart of the legs and the yellow above it, also yellow on the forhead, white(ish) face, horizontal dark stripe on side-thorax and abdomen(side)
Short frontal base of the antenne (what is the name of this part of the fly?; Scrobe/Scape?)

Regards, Robert Heemskerk

It looks like a Tetanocera to me...
(Tetanocera ferruginea?, arrogans?, silvatica?)

I edit some detailed information in my original message, let's say an update.
