I collected a female Cheilosia on 25 May 2017 at Kapeldalen close to the lake Hald Sø in the middle of Jutland, Denmark. When I use various keys, I end at uviformis, but this female differs from the female that Robert Zóralski identified last Friday as Cheilosia uviformis. The face profile is different, it is a little smaller, and the sternites are more shiny..
Data:
Length: approx. 8 mm.
Eyes with very few short, white hairs. You have to look carefully for them.
Thoraic dorsum: Long yellow, white-yellow hairs.
Scutellum: 4 black bristles and 1-2 yellow ones.
Sternites: shining, but all clearly dusted.
If you need further details or pictures, please let me know.
Hope you can help me identify this female.
Best regards
