 Have a nice Day. One Question please. Can this Stratiomyidae species be identified more precisely? I would be very grateful for a reply.
Discovery data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, vinejard, 22.5.2025, size: 7-9mm

Kind regards Karl

 Hallo Karl, I think it's another southern species: a female Chloromyia speciosa!
Resembles the common C. formosa but:
blackish wings
legs black but mid and hind metatarsus yellow

Greetings, Eric
