Hi,

can you tell which species Rhagio here?
Maybe Rhagio tringarius ?

The clear wings and colourless stigma do suggest R. tringarius. The other possibility listed in 'British Soldierflies and their Allies' is R. annulatus which is a mainly woodland species (tringarius being mostly found in open marshes). I am not sure how relevant this is in Lithuania though.

Nice picture.

I it took a photo of a former quarry in the outskirts. I think that there will probably be R. tringarius..

Thanks, Tristram

I would say annulatus from this single picture. Try this: http://home.hccnet.nl/mp.van.veen/KEYS/Rhagionidae/Rhagio.html Coxa 1 grey goes to annulatus...
