Photographed in the Netherlands, 11-04-2012. Bergen (N.H.) I think Phorocera obscura. Am I right? I've them every year in the garden, but they are still difficult. Like three years ago. http://www.dipter...d_id=20906 Best regards, Thijs thijsdegraaf attached the following image:  [72.41Kb] http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

They are different species - the first 2 have bare eyes and the last 2 have hairy eyes ... and the wing venation is different  I'll pass on this puzzle but I think at least 1 photos shows Phorocera

The first two specimens looks like Oswaldia muscaria, and the second two specimens are Phorocera obscura (male and female), I would say.

Thanks Erikas. Oswaldia muscaria is indeed very similar, when I look at other photos. I have one other photo. thijsdegraaf attached the following image:  [65.25Kb] http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

Yes, Erikas is much better at putting names to photos than I am but I would agree with his suggestions - they are very plausible
