Hi,
Is an ID of this fly possible?
Photos from May 2007, Germany, Chemnitz.
Thank you, Marion.

Looks like a rhinophorid to me but I might be wrong :)

Thank you, Chris. I changed the title.
Only 10 species from this family are in Germany. Genus Phyto in the gallery looks similar. From this genus angustifrons and melanocephala should exist in Germany. I think it isnīt Melanophora, Paykullia and Stevenia. Together with Phyto remain Oplisa tergestina, Rhinomorinia sarcophagina and Tricogena rubricosa without pictures in the gallery. Maybe some of them can be excluded.
Greetings, Marion

I'd say Pelatachina tibialis (Tachinidae)
