Hi Gabi

Is there a reason you think it might be oblonga ?
Looks like a typical crassipennis to me

Hello Theo!

Thank you so much for your help!
I'm not an expert, I just tought it may be an Ectophasia oblonga.

Are you sure it is an Ectophasia crassipennis? Do you think I can put the fly and the name (Ectophasia crassipennis) on my Web page like that?

thank you very much

Best regards
Gabi

Yes, you can.

All IDs (by me) on photos are 95 reliable max, so if you accept an uncertainty of 5 %....

oblonga male is much redder
