Hi,
I took a picture of this orange fly in our garden at the hedge, where it was sitting on a leaf. Based on some pictures in the web (e.g.
https://diptera.i...o_id=10659 ) I would speculate that it could be
Chrysopilus laetus. Is it possible to confirm or reject that speculation based on the picture below?
Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 01.08.2021, app. 8-10 mm
Greetings, Uli

Yes, that is correct.
You can see the wing tip is darkened as well. According to the literature, this would indicate Ch. pullus, but some /many laetus have this feature.
See the very new article by myself and others in Entomologische Berichten.
