Spotted in July 2025 in Germany, Baden Württemberg, in a meadow. Size 5-7mm. Can the fly be identified? My suspicion leans towards Eliozeta pellucens or Clytiomya continua.
Best regards,
Bernd

It's unfortunately hard to tell from the photo angle, it would be good to have a side view to see the Katepisternal bristles. Check out this handy table comparing the two species - https://tachinidae.org.uk/blog/clytiomya-continua-vs-eliozeta-pellucens/

OK. Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I don't have a side view.
