Is this a Dioctria and can it be determined from the photo?

Date: 20.06.2021
Many thanks and many greetings

Jürgen

I am no expert for asilidae, but it looks like Dioctria sp. to me.
It could be D. linearis.

Regards,
Frank.

Dioctria linearis seems reasonable.

Ah, D. lateralis makes much more sense.
