this fly of about 6 mm (?) landed on my toes in a bushy area of cologne, germany (may 31, 2009). from what i can see the wing venation is very different from Fallenia, and chinery doesn't offer me anything i would recognize as more similar. what could it be?

cheers!

I think this should be in the Syrphidae forum.

Now it is. Looks like Merodon equestris.
