Hello all together,

I don´t know if it is possible to identify the following fly´s - but I think I try it. Maybe here are some experts who know the species name.

I hope, most of them belongs to the family of Syrphidae.

I found them in South Germany, Baden-Württemberg, city of Waldshut, between Waldshut and Schmitzingen on Semi-arid grassland. 480 meters above the sea.

Nice photos but this really needs 1 fly per thread ... otherwise it gets difficult to understand which fly people are talking about Wink
