hello, today was rhingia-day..I noticed a lot of them in Voeren, Belgium today (30-08) within some hundreds of meters. many of them are most likely rhingia campestris...photo 1 and 2. But I think I saw two different r. -rostrata as well...photo 3 en photo 4.
could anyone confirm or correct my assumptions?
thanks a lot...chris

The first 2 are male of R. campestris. About the female, I'd like to check better if you have some more photos (head prophile and clear view of abdomen).

(at the moment I think rostrata is more likely for the female...if you have a good view of femora maybe we can exclude campestris)

this is the only photo which gives some more view of abdomen...from head I've got no profile...sorry.
I choose for rostrata mainly because of red legs ....

this is fly 2...photo 4 was another specimen with even less pictures

About the female I'd say R. cf. rostrata (some traits fit, others let me a bit confused).

Yes, campestris is the "leader". Anyways nice shot: campestris + rostrata TumbsUp

(thinking again about the female...maybe we can remove the "cf" )
