Hello,

this fly is from a forest in western germany in august. As estimated size I wrote down 7mm (with wings). Is this Hybos femoratus?

Thanks,
Michael

Hybos femoratus has partly yellow fore and mid legs. Might be H. grossipes but impossible to say for certain from this picture.

Thank you Paul.

I am glad, that at least I was right with the genus. I will save the picture as Hybos cf. grossipes.

Michael

P.S. I just saw, that the gallery lacks a picture of Hybos grossipes. Should I upload it, or is it too uncertain?
