Hi, a few days ago. I took a few pictures of a medium-sized hoverfly on a leaf. It seems a bit large for Cheilosia sp., but its my best guess anyway. Can that be confirmed/excluded from the attached images? Germany, Southern Bavaria, Garden in Munich (-West), 06.09.2023, app. 8-10 mm Greetings, Uli ukursawe attached the following image:  [294.13Kb] Edited by ukursawe on 20-09-2023 09:22 |

Hi Uli, Definitely a member of the Cheilosia genus. With this much yellow on the legs and a fairly big size, my first guess would be Ch. flavipes, although I dont have any experience with this species. You could take a look and see if it matches. Best, Jonne |

Hi Jonne, thank you very much for the confirmation. I agree that Ch. flavipes would be a good match, but I am not sure, if it can be distinguished from other species like Ch. fraterna, so Cheilosia sp. is good enough for me. Greetings, Uli |
