Hi All!

Catched this Cheilosia sp. two days ago in Austria at the edge of the forest.
It was hovering very fast and close to the floor.

Can anybody identify it?

Thanks, Helge

I have never seen a specimen like this. Smile

I believe it is a female of C. grossa with super dark, non standard patterns on wings.

Is that found in high mountain area?

Robert

Hi Robert!
I found that species in a heat priviledged forrest with fluff oaks at about 450m.
Claus C. told me it´s probably C. subpictipennis or C. pictipennis.

My result is C. cf. subpictipennis.
