Hello Forum,

I still need help with several diptera. Here the next one. Again a fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo I took on May 1st 2007. The plant in the background is Cardamine amara.

May be the fly belongs to Bombyliidae? Is it B. sulphureus?

Best wishes

Josef
