I found this beautiful fly in the end of may in Gothenburg. I haven't seen Parhelophilus versicolor before but it looks like one to me - or is it something else? The photo is taken close to a forest edge, mainly with oaks and some ash trees.

Or maybe the lack of yellow hair at the back of the head implies another species?

Yes, it's a male Parhelophilus, but the species is not identifiable from this picture I'm afraid.

Thank's Gerard! I'll try to get closer if it appears next summer :-)
