Hello! This 10-12 mm fly was hovering around a tree trunk at the forest yesterday (northwest Germany). It looks like a Caliprobola speciosa male without abdomen pattern (?).

Hello, Phil! phil withers wrote: Perhaps because it's a Brachypalpus ? That was my next guess. But with these orange wings and so rather slender??? I had Brachypalpus laphriformis here several times, but they looked quite different.
