 Hi all,

on 22th June 2020 I found this rather large fly on the underside of a Sorbus aucuparia tree in a forest in Berlin, Germany. Could you help me with identification?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,
Adrian

 Dryomyzidae - Dryope flaveola perhaps

 Really appreciate the help! I have never heard from this family name until now. Smile

It seems in Germany that three species are present only: Dryope decrepita, D. flaveola and Neuroctena analis, the latter I exclude, as it has dark spots on the wings around the cross-veins

 Due to the large size, I conclude that it is indeed Dryope flaveola. Thanks for the help!

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
