Hello,

could this be a Cheilosia sp., and if yes, which one, if determination via photo is possible? Or is it something different?

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), meadows near a creek 01. 09. 2014.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hello, Michael,

Yes Cheilosia sp. But hard to tell what species when the photographs are without exquisite detail. This has the look of a male C. proxima. But no way to know for sure.
