Hello everyone,
I photographed this fly, which was about 10 mm in size, yesterday in a meadow in southwest Germany. Is it
Cylindromyia brassicaria?
Greetings Siggi

Hello Siggi, I think it's a male
Cylindromyia pilipes (see the long hairs on hind tibia and femur).

Hello Eric,
thank you very much for your identification. That would be a great find for me. You are certainly right about the long hairs on the tibiae. Is that enough for a reliable identification? As far as I can see, there are only a few reports of this species in Germany. Perhaps Theo will respond to this question.... :)
Greetings Siggi

Hi Eric,
that's great, thank you. If I understood correctly, your identification must be correct. The identifying features are clearly visible. Learned something new again |t
