Hello, the pictures were taken on July 17, 2019 east of Bad Frankenhausen, Thuringia, Germany. The 4 - 7 mm long flies were sitting on rubbish near a grain field, and lots of flowering plants around. Is an ID possible? Thank you for answers! Hans Haleun attached the following image: ![]() [193.33Kb] Edited by Haleun on 16-08-2019 17:46 |

Theo, You speak about forms. Do I understand you correctly if I say that are not all orange forms are females? Or are orange forms females and black forms males? Thanks in advance. Pierre Duhem |

Females can have either black or partly orange legs. I don't think I have ever seem a orange-legged male, though. Theo |
