This fly was about 10 mm. Black tibia but only small red markings on abdomen. I use to have N. marklini on this place but is this one one?

It's certainly a Nowickia but with that much black I would go along with your idea of N.marklini ... I have never actually held a specimen but that's what they tend to look like

As a rule of thumb, northern Nowickia in lowlands are marklini. Can be fairly common, almost like R. fera in some locations. |

Wow ... no wonder they had plenty in the Moscow museum then. It's a pity that they don't fly closer to the UK

Looks like marklini female to me. Warning: alpina is extremely similar (fortunately: extremely rare). Theo |
