Hello together, who can help me with the identification of this fly? I think it´s a Hydrophoria ruralis. Does anyone agree with this opinion, or is it another species ? Many thanks for an answer ! locality: Germany Odenwald - about 300 m altitude fotodate: 06.09.2012 Best Regards Jochen jojo attached the following image:  [161.41Kb] Edited by jojo on 30-10-2012 12:04 |

It is indeed Hydrophoria ruralis, very good photo with lots of setulae in focus. Note the slightly projecting lower calypteres, the setulose scutellum, and traces of orange on abdomen and tibiae. |
