Hello!

I could take only this not so good photo before it took off. Not very big Muscid (?), smaller than Phaonia pallida (8 mm), yesterday night at light (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Can something be said about it? Thanks!

Juergen,
hard to say a lot:
1. May test it well may be Ph.pallida
2. Ph.pallida is a small Phaonia - 8mm - OK

Thanks a lot! P. pallida is numerous here at hedges at daytime in the moment. I thought this one was not only a little bit smaller, but also darker. But that may be according to the other light conditions in the night.
