Hello!
This afternoon at 2 ?C on foliage on the ground near forest (Ostwestfalen/Germany). If it was
Tephrochlamys sp., it was rather large for that genus, about 8-9 mm.
Somewhat larger picture:

Not visible very well on the pictures, but the abdomen was orange.

I had
T. rufiventris here in November:

Suillia.

Thanks! But I'm afraid I can't decide, whether my fly has a long enough subcostal cell, too...

Hi J?rgen,
I think you are right about this not being
Tephrochlamys. Just have a look at the bristles on the costa! That looks different in
Tephrochlamys! But let's just wait what Andrzej has to say about this specimen!

Yes !, I fully agree with Jan opinion. There is a memeber of tribe Heleomyzini and probably a Gymnomus or Heleomyza species :).
I'm not sure about the anterior orbital bristle (if shorter than the posterior one, so could be Gymnomus caesius species group !).

Thanks, Jan and Andrzej! So really no
Tephrochlamys and in any case a new genus for me :).
