Hello!

These two flies rested near a fruit bait at the same time yesterday in our garden (northwest Germany). The second one was considerably larger (13-14 mm) than the first one (9-10 mm). Are both Dryomyza flaveola? Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Last try. These rather large flies were really very distinctive.

Thanks, Stephane! I do not find that species very often, so I was not sure. Much more abundant here is Neuroctena anilis:

Thanks for confirmation! I had that form - even darker - already last year in November:

At that time also identified by you. :)
