Hi,

I determined this specimen as H. confusa, but I am not entirely sure of the genus. Found in a forest near Vienna.
Last image shows the mid-tibia.

You are probably right. Narrow wings with C-index approaching 4.0 and whole tip of male abdomen dark (in otherwise pale fly) indicate H. confusa.

Thanks, Jan.
I guess, if the genus Hirtodrosophila is safe, than it can only be H. confusa, because of the ventral branches of the arista. But I was not sure if this is without doubt genus Hirtodrosphila.
