Hi,

this fly is similar to Herina tristis or gyrans, but in both the wing pattern does not fit perfectly.
Found in the surroundings of Vienna, mid of May

Otites formosa Panzer (in fact, this name is a junior homonym, and it is better to use O. ruficeps instead).

That'S why it didn't fit :-) Sometimes one is too focussed to see the obvious ....
Thanks Val!
