Hello,
is this Rhagio immaculatus? It was about 13mm big and was photographed in July in a moist forest near Düsseldorf.
Thanks,
Michael

I think your ID is correct. Unfortunately it is one of the few Rhagios I never caught, so I cannot compare with my collection. But comparing with the other species and the key... yes. Great, because it is a rather rare species. Can you place it in the gallery?

strange name for a fly having spots in the wings. :P

Hello,
thank you both for your answers. The name is especially funny, because R. maculatus seems to have the same wings.
I saw that there are two rather good pictures of R. immaculatus in the gallery, but I will add it nevertheless.
Greetings,
Michael
