Hello; I found this small-headed fly in a small forest sitting on a birch (Betula). Is determination up to the species possible? I did not find much information on this kind of flies; Acrocera orbiculus seems to be a candidate. More high-res images below. Location: Hesseberg, Forest, Sieboldshausen/Dramfeld, Süd-Niedersachsen (Lower-Saxony) Thanks! ---Christian
