Unfortunately only one bad photo and no specimen collected - found near a mountain brook - photo not deleted, because never seen again - first I should ask: could it be an interesting species? My finger is close by the delete key ;) Greetings Frank

My guess would be around Rhinophoridae, but I have never seen anything similar.

It seems to me that R4 with appendix, like in some of Tachinidae.
But it isn't Tachinidae.
Head wide.
May be Oestridae?

Paul, I think you have a point here.

It's a syrphid
Given the presence of scutellar bristles, I would say: Cheilosia.
With > 100 spec., impossible to come to species ID.

Thanks all! Have seen a lot Cheilosia species there, but no species with this wing attitude. I confess: Cheilosia was one of my ideas too ;-) Best regards Frank

Here is the name: Cheilosia derasa, a common species on Petasites.
My thanks go at D. Doczkal for his fast reply to my e-mail request.
Best regards
