Hello,
Can Conops scutellatus be confirmed?
The bad weather photos were taken in a forest in Germany, Saxony in August 2021.
Best wishes,
Marion

Hi Jürgen and Eric,
thank you for the answers.
I did only compare with Conops in the gallery and excluded Conops flavipes because it should have femora with a broad black ring.
Leopoldius sp. looks good. I tried now to use the van Veen key, but without the specimen...
I attach an additional picture. Unfortunately there is no side view.
Best wishes
Marion

Leopoldius coronatus looks close.
