Dear members,

This fly was sitting today 20.8.07 at the edge of a little forest near to my garden.
Can You help me to identify ?
location: Eastern part of Austria, near Stockerau, 172 m sea -level

Thank You

Margarita Auer

Therevidae - possibly Thereva but identification beyond this is difficult :)

do you have frontal view of this fly? Viweing the face could help the ID for therevid flies. :)

Unfortunately not- the fly was not patient with me.

Best regards
