Hello!

Am I right, if I say that this fly is Chloromyia formosa?
Please confirm or correct my assumption.

This photo was made near Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Is this fly male or female?

Thanks a lot, Freddy...

I think it is Chloromyia formosa. The hind basitarsus looks rather pale, but the pale hairs on the head and dark mid basitarus suggest that it is formosa - a female.
