Hi, thanks for answering

Sry it`s my first thread in this forum.

The location is a pure pine forest near Herzberg Brandenburg-Germany.

I thought it's Pollenia because of the hairs, but it would be nice to know, how I can differentiate from the Rhinophoridae by the key.

the description in the key:

"Subscutellum distinctly swollen (convex) but not strongly developed, at
most half as deep as high (fig. 415)" --> Rhinophoridae

"Subscutellum distinctly flat, not swollen (fig. 417)" --> Caliphoridae

I`m not sure if it would be allowed to show those pictures? :(


in the moment I just need to know the family, but if you like i will use the next opportunity, when i work with binocular to take a dorsal picture. And what you need else?
