medium-sized fly with striking silhouette
Sundew
Hi,
Here comes a fly that reveals its full beauty only in a lateral view! I hope the characteristic silhouette, together with the nice colouring, will enable identification. Photographed in Berlin today.
Thanks, Sundew

Boys, you are fast!!! Dipterists seem to become active after midnight. Thanks for the species name, dear Nikita! I knew you would know.
Don't worry, Jorge, there are still lots of fly photos in store that were taken in my holidays. Meanwhile I found out some names myself, but there is enough determination work left for the winter months.
Best wishes, Sundew
