Quite a few of these flies were active at the Lingebos, Netherlands, today. They seemed to be defending a leaf and chased away all other flies. Size appr. 7-8 mm. I think it is Rhinophoridae. Is that correct, and is it possible to tell which species it is? Thanks in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [115.59Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Looks a bit like Phorocera (Tachinidae) to me
