Hi,
This male Tachinid, seen in southern Brandenburg on 6th June, keys out as Zeuxia cinerea, the only Zeuxia species recorded for Brandenburg (since 1924). Though I am quite certain that I got to the right species, I would nevertheless like to ask for confirmation, as Erics female https://diptera.i..._id=101496 has much broader and completely yellow palps. Furthermore, its postangular section of vein M seems to be straight, whereas it looks slightly s-curved in my male.
So any explanations are welcomed! Thanks in advance, Sundew
