Hi,

this fly was sitting quite high up in a tree, t4 I could only take a pic
from this perspective. Is it sufficient to determine the id?

Hamburg, Germany, Niendorfer Gehege (Forest, meadows), 18-July-2010

Thanks & rgds

It looks like a Thereva female, and a better expert than I am should be able to give you a species ID for it...

Martin is being his usual modest.

I see no reason why this is not Th. nobilitata.
Since we cannot see the colour of the halteres, this call is not 100 % sure.

Hi Martin and Theo,

thanks for your feedback. That's close enough for me :)
