Hello! This only 2.5 mm long fly visited Leucanthemum vulgare flowers on a meadow near a forest yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany). It resembles the Ensina sonchi in the gallery, but has dark wing markings. Same genus, other species?

E. sonchi. The wing pattern of this species is somewhat variable, and males are often a bit darken than females.

As I have seen meanwhile that is also the only species here in Germany.

It's indeed E. sonchi. There's only one Ensina here in Europe, there are two other species in the western Palearctic, one that is endemic to the Canary isles and Madeira: E. decisa and one endemic to the Azore: E. azorica. John |

Thanks, too, John! I never saw that fly here before.
