Hello everybody,
could this fly, length less 1 cm, be Hippobosca equina?
Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), 20. 11. 2016; the fly was attracted by light.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

No.
Lipoptena, no doubt it is L. cervi.
