Hello!

This 7-8 mm fly from yesterday at our garden shed (northwest Germany) behaved rather conspiciously, waving with its wings and raising its head (I first thought it was a Rhagio). Are there other possibilities, or is this Mintho rufiventris?

Looks like Mintho rufiventris to me :) I think the only alternatives are in southern Europe :)
