Hello,
I have no idea what this little fly from April 6th from Leipzig (Saxony) could be called.
Thanks for your help,
Maik

There are many bees on the meadow, including 6 Halictus species (H. tumulorum…) and 14 Lasioglossum species (L. pauxillum, lativentre…), perhaps...

I have never seen a Dalmannia, but of the three species known for Berlin/Brandenburg (D. dorsalis, D. marginata, D. punctata) only D. marginata is thus black. In the forum insecte.org that is a very informative one, there is a quite similar thread: https://www.insec...hp?t=76523. There is also a key by Stuke (2007, https://www.contr.../1690/1689) for the 6 palaearctic species that leads to D. marginata. So I think the species is ok!
Regards, Sundew

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
