Hello,

This fly looks a bit like Jorge's Nemoraea pellucida in the gallery, but the color of the scutellum seems to be different.
Picture was taken in July, near Heerlen (Kunderberg).

Hi Ben


Looks like Thelaira nigripes. Males can be quite reddish, or predominantly black.

Thanks Theo,

It indeed does look quite different comparing with this one.

It's a highly/annoyingly variable genus :( But with so few antero-dorsal bristles on the middle tibia it should be nigripes
