A photo would be useful Wink Check the file is not too big and remove any space characters from the name Smile

Sicus ferrugineus (Conopidae). Well, it could be some other Sicus species (are have a few in Germany), but 99.9...% of the specimens you'll see are ferrugineus and I'm too lazy to check what other species may occur there Wink

Quite common, as conopids go, but most insects (especially flies) are easily overlooked Smile Think small, and look hard on flowers throughout summer and you should find all kinds of interesting things Smile
