Hello,

www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/image/dos349/big/5dt49348.jpg
Pierre Duhem : France : Bessans : 73480 : 11/08/2024
Altitude : 1980 m - Taille : 10-12 mm
Réf. : 349643

I'm now thinking that this should be a member of the genus Rhamphomyia. In the gallery, I only found R. sciarina with yellow legs and yellow sternits. Do you think that this is a reasonnable hypothesis?
Thanks in advance.

Likely to be Rhamphomyia variabilis
