Have a nice Day. One Question please. Is this a Bellardia or a Onesia- Species? Unfortunately, I only have this one photo. I would be very grateful for a reply.
Discovery data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tatendorf, 220m, vineyard, 25.7.2025, size 8-10mm

Kind regards Karl

It could be a male Onesia floralis (gut feeling) - but the angle is not helpful and the fly seems to have had a fango pack before the photo session, and the mud remained...

Hello Eric thank you for the Answer. I will stick with Onesia sp. since I only have the one photo from above and because the thorax is full of mud.
Kind regards Karl.
