Good afternoon,

today I was able to photograph this fly. The body length is about 6 mm. Found on a sandy dry grassland in a pine forest near Mainz in Germany.
I see strong similarities to Phasia obesa and to my thread https://diptera.i..._id=100814 which I found in the same area. However, there are noticeable differences in the colour and pattern of the wings.

Perhaps someone can help.

Obesa is very variable. This is female obesa. indeed.
