A handfull of flies
Yoda
After shooting a lot of insects I have 6 flies left I haven't identified. I hope you guys can help with some of them.

Nr 1:

Nr 2:
master.yoda.homepage.dk/unknown2.jpg

Nr 3: (Hoverfly but which one?)
master.yoda.homepage.dk/unknown3.jpg

Nr 4:
master.yoda.homepage.dk/unknown5.jpg

Nr 5: At first glance I thought this was the same as nr. 4, but the head is clearly different.

Thank you Guenter! Its amazing how different those hoverflies can be in size and colour :-).

I forgot to mention that all the images are from Denmark.

I would say:

1. Asilidae?
2. Tachinidae (Tachina fera? - Chris or Theo will confirm)
3. Syrphidae Eristalis arbustorum
4. Empis tesselata male
5. Empis tesselata female
6. Syrphidae Tropidia scita

First of all. please always add data on where (and when) the photos were taken. I will assume there are from Austria.

#1 Dioctria [atricapillus] (Asilidae)
#2 Tachina sp. (Tachinidae)
#3 Eristalis [rupium-complex] (Syrphidae)
#4-5: Empis sp., male and female (Empididae)
#6 Tropidia scita

And, please, post apparently unrelated images in separate threads (as mentioned in the Forum - Code of Conduct which you have agreed to Pfft)).

The Tachina, it's either fera or magnicornis

(this is not much help, I know)

N.3 is very probably Eristalis lineata (=horticola) male.

Stephane.
