Hello, on my hard disk I found this old photo from may 2005 near Cologne. Is it Rhagio scolopaceus? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [37.84Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 11-02-2009 21:47 |

Not scolopaceus. Scolopaceus has a patterned wing. This is the male of lineola.

I don't agree. It is too big and espcially the stigma is too elongated for lineola. And the legs are too yellow. Compare http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3572 Moreover, there is some clouding int he wing. So I'd go for Rh. vitripennis Theo |

OK. I had some problems with this fly having darkened veins. I did not know the size.
