Hello!
I´m just wondering.....
Is it possible to determine this Palloptera-fly without seeing it’s breast.

I suspect that it is difficult, but you never know with so many talented fly-specialists out on the Web.
Naturally, I think it looks like a Toxoneura usta, but suspect that it is easy to confuse it with similar species.

The fly came to the butterfly lamp 25 August and the place is Småland in southern Sweden.

Thanks in advance
Sven
