This is, as to colour of abdomen and mid tibia, most probably female and male of E. arbustorum. However, to get a reliable determination, the pictures should show several characters more clearly, e. g. face (black stripe or not) and arista (feathery or more or less bare). A key is given in https://archive.i.... Regards, Sundew |

Thank you for the quick reply and insight! and thank you for the key The arista were sadly a little hard to see on the films I made but here is (hopefully) a better picture of the face of the female. I do agree that it seems to be an E. arbustorum. Cheers, Malin Math attached the following image:  [187.99Kb] |
