Dates: Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Stadt Schenefeld, at an uncultivated natural area near a small rivulet, 25 msm, Outsidefoto: kuv, 17th of May 2013. Comparing with photographs of diptera gallery, I think it could be Cheilosia perhaps albitarsis? Please help.

Hi Kuv,

my opinion as a non-expert: Cheilosia variabilis. Very common here in spring, too.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hello Kuv,

The habitus, slightly darkened wings and the profile of the head would definately make this C. variabilis.
C. variabilis is a typical species whom in may sits on leaves of bushes and trees in sunny spots along a forest path.

Greetings,

Ectemnius
