Hello,
in June I found this Conopidae near Main-River (Spessart-Highlands / Germany / North Bavaria).

Can somebody help to identify this fly?

Best regards
Andreas

Physocephala - I would think it's nigra, but would need to see the face from the front to be sure.

june suggests nigra as well. Too early for rufipes

(but then again, there are more species)

Hello Theo,
so, I say thank you even to you! Now, I think, Physocephala cf. nigra is okay.

Best regards
Andreas
