Hi,
This big yellow fly from today proved to be no Phaonia pallida, as I thought at a first glance. Can this be a female of Pegomya testacea?
Thanks for help, Sundew

Pegomya testacea

Many thanks, Joke! I didn't expect an Antho to be thus big!

There are some big one's !!
Mostly Hydrophoria, or some Alliopsis species.
Nice detail of P.testacea are the small abdomen, particular in male!
