I found this one in my photo archive. It was photographed on May 22nd, 2006, at the edge of a wooded area, close to the river Linge at Beesd, Netherlands. I did not record the size.

Because I did not know at that time how difficult the identification of flies is, I named it Platystoma semionatis after seeing some photographs of that species, an identification which I very much doubt now and which I would like to have confirmed (or corrected) at least.

Could anyone help me out with this one?

Thank you in advance!

identifying this genus in Southern Europe becomes extremely tricky though.
