Hello!
Are all these 6-8 mm flies from hedges (northwest Germany)
Empis punctata? I always have difficulties to tell them apart from
E. trigramma :|.

Yellow visible between the three black fasciae (at least in 2nd and 3rd pictures) so it must be
trigramma.

Many thanks, Paul. I will try to remember that for the future (and hope for better weather and many flies in the next days...).
