Hi, to me this one looks like H. groenlandicus, but I'm not sure if Northern Germany belongs to the "Northern Holarctic" (in fact I don't really think so), where this species seems to live. So what it this, can someone help? Thank you! Lennart 2015-06-04, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Mohrkirch Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 15-06-2015 05:20 |

Anasimyia lineata seems more probable indeed. It has a prominent snout (which seems to make the triangular shadow) and orange antennae. Helophilus groenlandicus is absent from Germany according to Fauna Europaea. Its face looks very different and has a shining black stripe; the antennae are dark. Views from different angles would be helpful! Regards, Sundew |

Alright, thank you both, that sounds good! I hadn't even heard of that genus at all ;-). Thank you very much for the explanation, Sundew, it's quite plausible. I just got one more picture of it. Greetings, Lennart |

With this picture, there are no doubts left. Why didn't you show it in your first post  ? Just to test us  ?
