I found this beautiful fly twice in the same day, first time by riparian shrubs and second time in an orchard in Monforte de Lemos, NW Spain, between meadows and small Quercus robur patches on the 19th of August, this year.

Any help with the identification?

Thanks a lot!

Miquel

I think it is Loxocera aristata, female
