Hi,
I found this rather white faced sarcophagid fly last August on Angelica sylvestris on wet meadows in Hamburg.
It looks somewhat similar to Brachycoma devia. But I couldn't really match the bristles and also this bright white face...
Is it possible to get a better ID for this guy?
Regards,
Jan

It is a Macronychia sp.
Very difficult genus....

Those match indeed good. Thanks a lot!
I dug even deeper and found this guy from August 2014. That's also Macronychia I guess?
Regards,
Jan

Yes, you should have posted that directly !

Female Macronychia dolini or striginervis, you can very nicely see the ovipositor.
