Hello,

I was thinking about Cylindromyia, for this rather bad photo, but the form of the red parts is not what one sees on the pictures.

thanks for any pointer.

Hello, Pierre!

Looks like Mintho rufiventris: http://commons.wi...tris01.jpg

But better wait for the experts.

Hello Juergen,

We aready had several Mintho rufiventris on the forum, but this one has red eyes. The former ones were more brown.

It might have reddish eyes but it's still Mintho :) The laterally compressed abdomen, red side-patches and 2 dark stripes on the thorax give it away :)
