Dear Forum,

I took this picture in my garden this morning. It was warming up on the bark of a tree. Length ~12 mm. Can it be further identified?

Best regards, Niek

Dear Sundew,

Thank you for your reply. I had seen your thread and thought it might be the same. But the more threads and pictures I see the more uncertain I become. Furthermore your reply has not received an anwer yet...
Best regards, Niek

Perhaps because these flies are so typical and common in spring that everybody should know them without asking? :D
