Is it possible to identify the genus/species of this fly by such foto? Transcarpathion region of Ukraine, August.

Thanks, Theo - of course it is and must sort out this evil picture of vitripennis with no visible black on the left wing...

Hopefully, this year Andre Schulten’s and my fieldguide will be published and all will be clear. last pic is a male, hence the difference !

I currently have some to many photos of these Snipeflies:
Chrysopilus asiliformis, cristatus, Chrysopilus laetus
Ptiolina nigrina
Rhagio conspicuus, immaculatus, maculatus, scolopaceus, vitripennis
and it would be a pleasure to support, if you could use it.
Greetings, Eric

Will your field guide cover central Europe?

North-west Europe:
DK, UK, Eire, NL, B, Lux and both France and Germany north of the line Paris - Neurenburg.
Stricty mountain species ( occurring on ly above 800 m. asl.) are excluded.
That said, from a practical point of view the cchances are 98 % it eill work all over Central Europe. Only a few Mediterrenean and moutain species are lacking.
But when you cross the Alps, you are on your own :)
