Hello,

another Brachyopa (?) male from a forestpath today (northwest Germany). Ca. 8 mm.

I would look at testacea and vittta (so far never seen them myself). The latter is supposed to be very large and have relatively long wings.

Thanks again, Karsten!

I'm not sure about the 8 mm. May well be 10 mm, like this male: https://insektenf...adID=52570
The females were distinctively smaller.
