I think the same fly was recently featured here: http://www.dipter...ad_id=3070 Does my fly (watched several of them yesterday and the day before here in Germany on umbelliferous flowers) belong to this species, too? It was about 10-12 mm long. Thanks!

This is also Linnaemyia most likely, as Chris thought. Thanks to you both! I have changed the subject to "Linnaemyia?" (without the "Also", as it is not the same genus as in the other thread).
