Hi,

Front femora with two rows of long black spines and tibiae with one row of black spines makes this Norellia. Probably N spinipes but Im not sure.

Best,
Jonne

I've added two more photos on which can be seen midfemur with 5 anteroventral and 3 posteroventral bristles and hindfemur with 4 anteroventral bristles which should make it Norellia tipularia according to "Norellia spinipes (Meigen) in the Netherlands and its distinction from N. tipularia" (Herman de Jong, 1985). Is this correct?
