Hello,
is this fly with the triangular tooth at the hind femur a female Tropidia scita? I found the fly on a white rose in Saxony in Germany in the mid of May.
Thank, you,
Marion

as no expert has answered, yet, I would say yes, beyond doubt. I had found this species only three times here, lastly this May (but the male below is from May 2014).

Thank you for confirmation, Jürgen. It is my first Tropidia.

Best regards,
