Hi all,
on 22th June 2020 I found this rather large fly on the underside of a Sorbus aucuparia tree in a forest in Berlin, Germany. Could you help me with identification?
Thank you for your help in advance!
Best regards,
Adrian

Dryomyzidae -
Dryope flaveola perhaps

Really appreciate the help! I have never heard from this family name until now. :)
It seems in Germany that three species are present only: Dryope decrepita, D. flaveola and Neuroctena analis, the latter I exclude, as it has dark spots on the wings around the cross-veins

Due to the large size, I conclude that it is indeed
Dryope flaveola. Thanks for the help!
