Can you help me id this fly? I found it in my garden in Bilthoven (Utrecht, the Netherlands). It is a bit larger and more robustly built than the
Thelaira nigripes that I found on the same spot a few weeks ago.

Thank you, Stephane.
It does not look like
L vulpina. According to my guidebook, the other species are more difficult to separate.
L tessellans is the only one that is common in Holland, but, of course, it could be one of the rare species.
