Hi,
Please let me show you a series of yellow Drosophila species.
This female fed on ivy flowers in Baden-Wuerttemberg. When I took the pictures on 1st October 2018, a male of D. suzukii was present, so I suppose the female may belong to the same species. The middle part of the mesonotum and the scutellum showed a weak darkening that was also seen on the male. Unfortunately, the presence of the characteristic ovipositor could not be verified. What do you think?
Thanks, Sundew

At least it looks so.

If nothing clearly speaks against the species, I will label the pictures with D. cf. suzukii. Thanks!
