Hello Forum,

is this fly a Mydea corni? What else?

Hagen, NRW, Germany, near alder marshland, 175 msm, July 30th 2008

Best regards, Josef

Not Mydaea, but Phaonia. Of course, it isn't possible to find absence/presence of setae on radial node, but note jizz - Mydaea has more pure colors - scutellum really clear yellow, not as dirty/partly yellow as in this case.
Most probably Phaonia valida, female

Hello Nikita,

thank you very much for your help, especially for the practicable explanation of the difference.
