Hi,

yesterday I took a picture of a medium sized fly in our garden. The form of the M1 vein made me guess that this might be a female of Muscina levida. Can that be confirmed/excluded from the attached image?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Garden in Munich (-West), leaf of our garden hedge (Carpinus betulus), 05.05.2024, app. 8 mm

Greetings, Uli
