Might be, but there are several similar species, and females cannot be separated. If we only had a good view of the head to estimate the degree of dusting of the frons... P. perpallidus might be another option. See Steven Falk's Platycheirus album https://www.flick...183034332/. |

Thank you very much Sundew  - (Sorry I had no other picture).I hadn't thought that there are so many similar species as in your link is shown! So it remains to Platycheirus sp., female. Greetings Kuv Edited by kuv on 28-01-2019 20:41 |
