Date of sighting: 05.March 2025 Location: Private garden with mixed biome (mostly dry but with artificial water biome) in the east part of Lower Austria. Size: Appr.5-6mm I am somehow confident that this is a Gonia sp. Usually I do not go further than that because Gonia are too difficult to define to exact species for me. But I have read that because of the early time of sighting with still lower temperatures one could definitely say that this can only be Gonia picea. Can anyone verify or refute this statement? I would like to be able to submit a correct declaration. I already went to a german diptera forum with this question and was redirected to ask here. TX in advance for an answer!

At a first glance I'd say Gonia picea is correct (the early date supports that) - but I don't have broad experience with Gonia.
