hello together,

is it possible, to identify this fly? The photo was taken 24th july 08 in North-Bavaria, Germany, 400 msm. Size may be 5 mm. Many thanks.

Best regards
Eugen

Certainly Gymnosoma (female) but I don't see enough to be able to identify it. Normally we'd need clear photos showing the dusting on the frons and the thorax to have a chance Smile
