Hi
I think this could be Cyzenis jucunda.
I took pictures of a similar fly two yeƔrs ago, Walther Grietsch from FugleogNatur.dk was quite sure it was it - but not 100% sure because he had only seen it once before. https://www.fugleognatur.dk/forum/show_message.asp?page=1&MessageID=1850754&ForumID=36#3
The habitat is a quite untouched forest placed in Jutland close to the city of Bjerringbro. Many kinds of trees.

Best regards

Jan

I am not sure. Many features are invisible and the bend in Mvein M is a bit far from the wing margin, for Cyzenis. The frons is very broad, suggesting Brachychaeta. However, there is no strong costal spine, however, it might be broken off. In short, too many howevers.

Thanks for looking at this fly. It flew before I could take additional photos.

ayes, taking good pictures from several angles is difficult, I know.
