Hello,

I discovered this fly on July 4th, 2017 on a building near Skärsnäs (southern Sweden), at lake “Immeln”.

Hello Heiko, I think this is a dark male of Phaonia pallida which is not unusal. Amongst other characters P. rufiventris has only 1 pair of presutural acr while P. pallida has two.
(see Review of the Phaonia pallida group, Nikita E. Vikhrev, Elena A. Erofeeva)

Hello Eric,

OK, but P. pallida. I had initially considered this species, but I found the dark grey-black coloring on the upper side of the thorax a bit irritating.
But I'm not an expert either.

Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards, Heiko

Presently I'm a little bit far from the Palaearctic region.
But I agree with Eric and I'm happy that publication of Elena and I is useful.
