Dear forum users,

best wishes to all, this is my first post in this forum.
The 3,5-4mm fly shown below I found in my garden, SW-Germany, river rhine valley, 40 kms south of Mainz.
There is just this one rear view existing, because I saw this animal only once for a few seconds.
I would be glad about any info concerning possible taxa.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.

Best regards,

Thorsten R�der

Picture does not appear. Did you remove all spaces from the file name?

Jeroen, you were much too fast Smile (or maybe this warning was created automatically), however, now it should be visible...

From the pattern, I would say Calythea nigricans (Anthomyiidae).

Thanks a lot, Stephane, for your answer!
So, it seems, as if this fly is not seen very often.

Best regars,

Thorsten
