Ephydridae I think (from the arista). Could it be Notiphila brunipes? Stephen. Edited by Stephen R on 06-11-2009 20:51 |

Thank you, Stephen. It looks like Notiphila brunipes in the gallery. Notiphila brunipes should exist in Germany, but unfortunately together with 10 other Notiphila species. Marion Edited by Marion Friedrich on 08-11-2009 13:42 |

Notiphila brunipes is more likely. For my sorrow the face is in shadow and coloration is not seen well. In brunipes it is silvery or golden-silvery, bright, contrasting to dark coloration of frons. The other characters - black antennae and black tibiae are of N.brunipes. |

Face is light and contrasting to the dark coloration of frons. It becomes visible when brightening the photo. Thanks for explaining the characteristic features. Marion |
