Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Atylotus, but which?

Hi,
This female Atylotus was seen in southern Brandenburg on 1. August 2014. I can exclude A. fulvus, as the eyes areobviously short-haired, but cannot tell apart A. plebeius and A. rusticus, so help is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks, Sundew

Hmmm, plebejus has longer hairs and the eye and fulvus short.
That said, this is rusticus: grey femora, short hairs on the eye, indeed :)
