Hello,

sorry, I have no better picture. An 8 mm fly at an Andrena nesting aggregation on meadow near forest (northwest Germany). Is it possible to tell the species?

Yes Metopia and no I. an’t do better. Well, it is in the argyrocephala-complex, you’d already figured that out yourself :)

Thank you, Theo! Yes, I suspected that it wouldn't be possible to go further with this photo.
