Hello Forum,
here a fly from the alder marshlands in Hagen (NRW, D), 175 m above sea level. The picture was taken on March 30th 2008. The fly sat on a metall fence that is around the marshland area.
I have no real idea, which fly it might be! Is there anybody who can help?
Best regards
Josef

By the general "jizz" I'd say
Phaonia subventa, Muscidae.

What do you mean by "jizz"? That sounds rather "vulgar" to me.
and: Thank you for the ID!

"Jizz" is the indefinable cumulation of small clues which give an animal (or thing) its identity: it is used all the time to identify a fly in the field when it shows itself for three seconds and flies off over a tree...
