Hello forum,
Is it possible to identify this fly?
I thing it is Bibio lanigerus but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Hmm, I don't know for sure, but I get to a similar place in my key but I think the hairs on the thorax look dark, not white as they would be in
lanigerus. An alternative might be
hybridus but it would be nice to see the specimen because hair colours and vein colours are tricky to judge from a photo :)

That one certainly looks white enough :D Strange how just a change of light can have such a dramatic effect.

I can agree with that Chris.
Thanks very much.
