Hello!
I always have difficulties with these orange flies. Very numerous last week at hedges (northwest Germany), about 6 mm.

Ah, very interesting. I never heard of that genus/species... B)
(I see: it's in the gallery, but I did not take it into account, becaus mine did not have such a distinctive dark "spear" marking on the thorax.)

Yes, this dark presutural vitta can be present or not. If you've got a high resolution and sharp picture, you'll maybe able to see setulae on apical section of R1 vein (the Achanthipterinae subfamily definition).
