hello, today was rhingia-day..I noticed a lot of them in Voeren, Belgium today (30-08) within some hundreds of meters. many of them are most likely rhingia campestris...photo 1 and 2. But I think I saw two different r. -rostrata as well...photo 3 en photo 4. could anyone confirm or correct my assumptions? thanks a lot...chris |

The first 2 are male of R. campestris. About the female, I'd like to check better if you have some more photos (head prophile and clear view of abdomen). |

(at the moment I think rostrata is more likely for the female...if you have a good view of femora maybe we can exclude campestris)

this is the only photo which gives some more view of abdomen...from head I've got no profile...sorry. I choose for rostrata mainly because of red legs .... this is fly 2...photo 4 was another specimen with even less pictures |

About the female I'd say R. cf. rostrata (some traits fit, others let me a bit confused). |
