Hi, on 18.03.2026 I found this fly on a sunny ruderal area in Saxony in Germany. Is Gonia picea correct and is the Coltsfoot visitor a male or female? Greetings, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [188.05Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 26-03-2026 18:15 |

Hi Marion, Gonia picea is correct. It seems that the dorsal hairs on tergites 3 & 4 are erect: probably a male.
Greetings, Eric |
