Hi everyone,
in August this year, I found this fly in a forest consisting of conifers as well as broad-leaved trees in Kassel (middle of Germany). The fly was sitting on a mushroom and measures about 9mm. I'd love to know what species it is as I have to do a collection for my studies of biology but wasn't too successful finding out. Is there anyone who could help me?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Anna

Obviously male of Suillia. Maybe S. pallida but the last pictures probably belongs to another species (crossveins not darkened).:(

No, the last picture shows the wing of exactly the same fly as shown before, for sure. Would you then still say it was Suillia pallida?
