Thank you

Nephrocerus. I do not have my key at hand to tell you which one.

Is this the reference that can be used?
Grootaert, P. & De Meyer, M. (1986): On the taxonomy and ecology of Nephrocerus Zetterstedt (Diptera, Pipunculidae) with a redescription of N. lapponicus and a key to the European species.- Bulletin van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen, Entomologie 56: 85-91.
Thank you!

With the absence of markings on the tergites 2-3 and partly dark antennae it might be
scutellatus.

Hi,
I found the key, it is definitely N.scutellatus.
Thanks!
