 I spotted this approx. 5-7mm large fly in Germany Baden Württemberg on 08.09.2023 on a natural meadow. Can someone appoint you?

Thank you and best regards
Bernd

 Hi Bernd,

This is a Thecophora species, they are difficult to bring to species level but you can try this https://home.hccn...phora.html key.
