Hello everyone,
I photographed this fly on September 30, 2023 in southwest Germany in the Black Forest on a damp meadow. I estimate their size to be 3 to 4 mm. I think it belongs to the family Lonchopteridae; can you say more about that?

Thanks and regards,
Siggi

Hello Siggi,

could be a male of Lonchoptera lutea but to be sure it is necessary to see full chaetotaxy of fore and mid legs.

schönes Wochenende

Hello Mats,

thank you very much, but I don't have any better pictures. Then I will label the pictures with “Lonchoptera cf. lutea”.

Grüße aus Staufen,
Siggi
