Hi everybody, this is my first thread, so please apologize if I do something wrong, and about my english, and I'm not at all specialist in flies, only interested... Very large fly, I'd say 10mm at least; in Switzerland, near Geneva and close to the French border; between prairie and edge along little river. After search (Galleries, Forums and the keys I could find), I'd say probably Suillia, and with arista seeming "plumose" and scutellum seeming hairy, corssveins shaded and size, species could be affinis. Is it possible to confirm or not? Thank you very much! gomphide attached the following image:  [80.83Kb] Edited by gomphide on 20-06-2020 15:29 |

S. affinis-species group  . It could be S. [i]gigantea [/i, but without specimen at hand the proper identification is impossible  .

Thank you very much! I was expecting that species level was difficult to reach. So S. gigantea doesn't have always more hairy legs? |

All males of Suillia have more hairy body. The size of this specimen and the more brownish face and gena and the shape of scutellum are not typical as for S. affinis and to me  .
