This could be a male Melanostoma dubium. But since I never caught it myself... Did you put it cold? Wink

Platycheirus male, in picture 2 you can see the enlarged tibia 1 on the left side. Actually, you see 4 legs there, but the first is from the right side, the second one is the first left leg, and that one you see widening to the end! Also you can see the somewhat broadened tarsae.

Thank you André and Gerard!

I wanted have a pic from the head - head is not "sharp", but the front legs are more detailed.
Did I puted the marks on right place? I didn't kept an eye on this detail. Is it always "platycheirus" with this legs?
Sorry that I didn't showed this pic - not knowing that it shows important details :-(

Well, I didn't see that on pics one and two! Don't know how he did that!

Your last pic is much better! :)
