Hello! Adam Hegedus found this I think Philipomyia in Hungary, 2022.06.20. Please, can you help me which species is this? I know that there are two species in Hungary in this genus graeca and aprica, but I’m not sure what is the difference between them.

Correct, it is aprica, by far the most common in Hungary.

Thanks! Please, can you help menwhat is the main difference between aprica and graeca? I have just found features about colour, and it is not so clear for me.
