Hello,

I've been finding this fly on peppermint. The fly had a strikingly shiny abdomen with white hairs, especially on the edge. Which species is it ?

Germany, Saarland, Bexbach, 15.08.2020, Absolute Altitude 250 m

Greetings Volker

Hi Volker, I think it's a male Cheilosia caerulescens.

Greetings, Eric
