The frons seems less inflated, so most probably a male Pipiza and not a Heringia. That does not help much, as the genus is regarded as one of the most intractable because of the high variability of the species. It MIGHT be P. austriaca IF there are ridges on the underside of the hind femora (impossible to see in the pics). So I do not dare to say more than Pipiza spec.
Happy New Year and best wishes, Sundew

hello Sundew,

thanks for your answer,
if we meet this fly again we try to get fotos of the hind femora for a propper ID,
we called the fly Pipiza sp.

Probably most of Pipiza's determined from pictures should have "cf." Grin

And also 1/10 of determined directry from specimens... Wink That's a genus of extremely high intraspecific variability with also some characters overlapping between species and, as you could imagine, in consequence in a very bad condition taxonomically... Sad

When seeing hundreds of Pipiza's every year, I have consistent feeling that current concept is worse than it was 100 years ago. Problem is complex. Not sure anyone can solve this puzzles nowadays on the Palearctic level due to specific of this genus.
