At the beginning, I thought it was a Conops, but evdb told me that the snout was not long enough. I then looked in the genus Leopoldius. It seems that my specimen doesn't have a yellow scutellum, which, if I'm not wrong, would lead to L. calceatus.

But I'm not sure at all.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Pierre Duhem

Hi Pierre,

You are right! A female Leopoldius calcetaus. Yellow top of the head with black frons, black anterior wing margin, black rings on femora and a black theca. Very nice find.
Recently reported new for Belgium and the Netherlands.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius
