Hello!

Temperatures around the freezing point outside. So it is more comfortable to take photos in the kitchen... B) This beauty I just found there some minutes ago (northwest Germany). With the bare eye it was just a tiny (2 mm) dark fly, but under the macro lens it looks really impressive :D. Is an ID possibly? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Paul! Does this belong to the "D. repleta group"? I found D. repleta in the gallery rather similar with its spotting, only light brown instead of dark grey.
