Hello!

Can more be said about this 3 mm fly from Sept-16 (Ostwestfalen/Germany) than just Sepsis sp.? Thanks in advance!

I'd say Sepsis fulgens ?
Tarsi very clear, spot located in apical wing, wing venation fits.. but not sure, though.

Thanks! If you take a look at the picture URL, you will see, that this was my assumption, too Wink. That species seems to be very abundant here, but I was also not sure.

That applies to a host of other Sepsis species as well...

Chris can confirm that around 01 Sept it is always autumn in Russia Angry
In second part of Sept in Moscow reg. (as well as in second part of Oct in Sochi region) very few Sepsidae are still active at my observations:
S.punctum, S.fulgens, N.nitidula...
