 Hello,

I shot this picture in June 2008 in the middle of Germany close by a lake.
It should be a Pollenia sp. but I have no idea which species exactly.
I guess the size appr. 10mm.
I know, the photos are more Non-ID ones Smile, but maybe it's possible to ID it closer the the species.

Thanks in advance!

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
