hello flyreader,

Yesterday I found some of these flies, next to a forest on a bridge.
Most of the flies were females, quite big > 15 mm
Male (I guess same sp.) was smaller.

they got long arista(with hair) and the 4th vain in the wing is straight.
abdomen are yellowish/gold and legsparts are red/braun.

I think this is Phaonia, and perhabs it is Phaonia viarum?

Must be difficult sp. I think... B)

* pictures could be different flies, they are made on the same place and time *
