Hello,
I found this 6 mm fly this morning on low vegetation at a forest path (northwest Germany). At first glance I thought it was
Thricops diaphanus.

Hello once more,
no comment?
The two flies below I photographed at the same time at same place. Look rather similar, but should be male and female of
Phaonia pallida actually.
