Hello!
There were many flies (Muscidae, Heleomyzidae and others) licking sap on cut trunks of a hedge these days (see last picture). Most of them beeing the ubiquitous (in the last few months)
Phaonia tuguriorum. But I think the one on the first picture, with the dark legs is a
Helina, right?
H. evecta?
All flies around 7-9 mm (I will post the small one on the last pic in a separate thread), northwest Germany, March-03, 2009.

Hello!
No chance? I am still very interested if the first fly could be
Helina cf. evecta, would be my first record this year.

That's a possibility, but difficult to be sure. The last two seem to be
Ph. tuguriorum indeed.

Thanks again. Yes,
Phaonia tuguriorum is a mass animal since weeks here. Unfortunately the weather has become worse, and at the moment there is no possibility to get better pics of that possible
Helinas... :|
