Hello,

I found this species in northern Germany.
Is it possible to ID it?

Seems to be a Machimus/Tolmerus sp. It seems very fresh. Hard to tell without the colouration of legs.It might help to mention place/habitat and time.

found near grazing land and a pond...
in the agrarian landscape of lower saxony.
July

Are the legs of the fresh/young flies not coloured yet?
