Hello,
is this Cylindromyia pilipes? I found the fly on a glade near Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany (2007-08-04)

Greetings
Ingrid

Hi,

I haven't seen a pilipes, but to me this looks like brassicaria. According to the Central European key, pilipes should have yellow-brown (black in the picture) basicosta and six marginal bristles on tergite 4 (four in the picture).

Or it is intermedia, since the third antennal segment seems quite long, the wings are rather strongly infuscated and I don't see a basal scutellar bristle (but if it is there, it would be hard to see).

I agree it is not pilipes

Thank you for the help!
