Is this a Platypezidae again? 22. October 2025, 3-4mm. Our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany, 210m above sea level, huge forest nearby. To me it looks similar to
Platypeza fasciata but with yellow legs. The fly was hooked to a leaf of a runner bean, I "rescued" it and after 30sec. it was able to fly away again (from my hand). Thank you for your help, Jörg
