Photographed today (27-08-06) at Leerdam, Netherlands.
A nervous fly, runs fast and flicks it wings all the time. Visits flowers.

Thank you in advance!

I think this is Paykullia maculata (Rhinophoridae)

I agree. It looks unusually dark, but this may be just the picture.

Thanks very much, Tony and Theo!
The light was quite poor when I photographed this fly, I think that causes the dark look.
