Hello, this little fly I found on a fruit orchard on August, 6th in Mainz, Germany. Someone had the idea it could be Platycephala umbraculata. Is that right or are there other opinions?

Platycephala sp., probably umbraculata (F., 1794). The different P. spp. are not always easy to distinguish and identification should be confirmed by checking the male genitalia after the article of Beschovski (1980): Acta zoologica bulgarica 15: 72-76. The picture shows a frons without many and without clearly dark points, the frons only moderately exceeds the anterior eye margins and the 3rd antennal segment seems to be narrowed apically, all those characters of umbraculata. Larvae develop in reed stems.
