Hi, a few days a ago I took a picture of a medium-sized fly on one of our bird shelters. It has an orange abdomen and an orange scutellum. I would suspect it could be Phaonia sp.,, maybe P. rufiventris (???). Is it possible to confirm or reject this guess from the pictures?

Hi Uli - no reason to reject! Female Phaonia rufiventris ist correct! EDIT: 2 reasons to reject: 1. 2 pairs of strong acr pre (rufiventris: 0-1) 2. 2 posterior setae on mid tibia (rufiventris: 3-4) so it's most probably P. subventa though scutellum seems to be completely yellow!
