Hello, using Reemer, M. (2014): Veldtabel wapen- en bastvliegen van Nederland (Diptera: Stratiomyidae & Xylomyidae): https://kenniscentruminsecten.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Veldtabel_wapenvliegen.pdf I got to Microchrysa flavicornis: - eyes bare - antennae orange at base - fore femora largely yellow - measured body size: 4 mm can someone confirm this or point out any mistakes? I found it sitting on a bush next to a meadow. Northern Germany, Hildesheim, bushes next to meadow, 08.VI.2025, 150m, 4 mm (measured)     Thank you in advance, Stephan |

Male Microchrysa flavicornis is correct. Additional hint from Zeegers, Schulten (2022): Families of Flies with Three Pulvilli: "In photographs, the best characteristic is the whitish yellow trim which widens slightly towards wing base." Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |
