Hi, these flies occur now very frequently on meadows. Is ID possible?
(Germany, Saxony, July 2017)
The pictures are from 2 specimen, but I guess they belong to the same species.
Thank you, Marion

Thanks John, Estheria looks quite good.
Your questionmark together with picta motivated me to search for the species flying in Germany. I have found 4: E. bohemani, E. cristata, E. petiolata and E. picta.
Today I have visited the place again and photographed a male.
