All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Calosota is correct - and it could be a female Calosota acron - based on the colouration of the legs and wing venation.
