Slovakia, Banská Bystrica, Carpathians, patchy landscape (forests, pastures, meadows), 18 august 2023.

The species is not in the Slovakia checklist, however, it has been already published form Slovakia (Marek Semelbauer, , Ján Samay, Jan Zavřel 2023 Diptera species recorded for the first time in Slovakia found alongthe Danube floodplain.)

I keyed it out using Reinoud van der Broek's fieldguide. Is my ID correct?

Thank you in advance

Matej

The frontal hairs are white and the front femur is postero-dorsally partly red-brown. This should be cingulatus. (Other characters are not good enough to see.

Thank you Danny,

Apparently, I misinterpreted the key and the character is visible only "from behind".
