Hey,
is anyone able to determine this 14mm long fly, picture taken in the garden on ivy, 29th September 2010, between the Black Forest (north) and the Upper Rhine / Murg Valley / Southwestern Germany, 165 meters above sea level.
Regards Ulrich

Family is typical, I think an easy job for Chris!

It's a
Nowickia but I'm not sure which species it might be :)

Thank You. Can help an other pic ? From which side? Which part of the fly?

I think with
Nowickia we'd need to see the abdomen pattern better and also see the colour of the palps :)

Thank You for Your answer. Now I have 2 pics and I hope this are the right parts of the fly. If not, please tell me, what You need, I still have the Fly.

Well, it will have to wait for Theo (doesn't look like
ferox) ... or if you don't mind sending me the specimen then I can key it out properly :D

O.K., I send You the fly. Your address? Do You send a e-mail?

It does look like ferox, the tip of the palpus is yellow, that suffice. Moreover, the abdominal pattern suggests ferox, this is however variable, so that is why I did not react on the first pic.
Nevertheless, always good to check the genitalia (very distinctive in Nowickia)

Nice :)
It's OK Ulrich (thanks) - if Theo says it is
ferox then I am happy :)
