Hi flyforum,

Seperately, but in each area I found these two Dilophus sp.
The typically black wings (by female!), suggest that this is Dilophus febrilis.

But perhabs there are more look-a-like Dilophus with black wings flying around?

place: Amsterdam forest

NO. Dark wing is always female febrilis.

Thank you Theo, for your time and reaction Smile

Female is Dilophus febrilis, the male (last picture) can not be identified as Dilophus febrilis for 100% I think?

But it was in the surrounding, so it is likely..

Males Dilophus are very difficult.
However, febrilis is very common, and all others are restricted in space and time in the Netherlands.
Start looking end of may for D. femoratus in the dunes !
