Lonchoptera lutea - female


These flies are numerous here in northwest Germany these days, too. Beside some rarer species Lonchoptera lutea and bifurcata are said to be most abundant. Could you please tell me, how you distinguish these two from a photo? Below one I shot on September-21 in a forest.
