Hi,
This Empis from Sunday evening has patterned wings, as shown in the upper picture taken without flash. The fly then flew away to mate, and I got only a few more pictures. - Paul wrote in https://diptera.i...d_id=83929: "Maculated wings, yellowish red coxae, all black antennae: E. maculata". However, I am not sure if the antennae of my fly are completely black. And I did not find a description of E. apicalis, another candidate. So is E. maculata group the most we can say, or can a species name be found? (The location was southwestern Germany, 20 km west of Stuttgart.)
Many thanks for your help,
Sundew
