Hello!
I think the same fly was recently featured here:
http://www.dipter...ad_id=3070
Does my fly (watched several of them yesterday and the day before here in Germany on umbelliferous flowers) belong to this species, too? It was about 10-12 mm long. Thanks!

Hi Juergen.
I can't give you positive reply, but I think I can negative.
There isn't strong descending frontal bristles, neither vertical apical bristles on scutellum, so it isn't Exorista.

Looks more like
Linnaemyia, due to the: large size, hairy eyes, no facial-ridge bristles, pale face colour and protruding mouth edge. :D

Hello, again!
At first I thought, this one was the same species, but now I'm not sure anymore. Same time and location, maybe a little bit smaller.

Hard to say for sure without seeing its face but it does have the dense hair on the eyes and the dusting & bristles seem similar. :)

Hi Juergen,
Could you change the name of the thread in 'Also Linnaemyia' ?
I could misled by the title.
This is also Linnaemyia most likely, as Chris thought.
thanks

Thanks to you both! I have changed the subject to "Linnaemyia?" (without the "Also", as it is
not the same genus as in the other thread).
