Hello,
I found this fly today on a meadow in Bexbach, Saarland, Germany, sitting on tansy. It was probably around 5 mm in size. Could it be Siphona geniculata?
Best regards,
Volker

Without clear lateral, impossible to be sure, but very likely indeed.

Hi Theo,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I’ll record the fly as cf. geniculata for now.
Best,
Volker
