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?

Er..., why not Syrphidae?

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
