Hi,

in a small forest I saw this fly. My idea would be: Palloptera trimacula.
Could someone help me?

Thanks and regards,
Pia

I recently came across a similiar fly which turned out to be Paraclusia tigrina (Clusiidae) but I think yours does look more like Palloptera trimacula (but I am not an expert!).

I agree with trimacula.
