Hello Michael,

my non-expert opinion: Suillia variegata (Heleomyzidae).

Hello Jürgen,

Suillia variegata looks good. Would be nich if someone could confirm your opinion.

Thanks, and greetings from the river Rhine valley,

One more try, perhaps someone can confirm Jürgen´s determination ...

Please, think to change the title to draw the experts' attention. Meanwhile, Suillia variegata is also my opinion with such a wing pattern.

Well, I'm not an expert either, but I'm almost certain that Stephane is right. :)

Thank you, Stephane and Jan, for confirmation!

@ Stephane: it was a little bit of work, till I found out, how to change the title. In future I´ll do so.

Greetings from the river Rhine valley,
