Hello!

A 4 mm fly from a hedge this afternoon (northwest Germany).

Hi!

Nothing possible?

Everything is possible!

Without kidding, I think it is Tricholauxania praeusta, though the markings at the end of the longitudinal veins aren't very clear.

But I see no indication of the ventral spines on R2+3 either, and I think the quality of the pictures is sufficient to show them if they are there.

Indeed, the photo is not sharp enough, yet I have seen Tricholauxania with such light markings. But in this case I certainly would like to have seen the spines.

Hello, Ruud and Paul!

Thank you! I had excluded Tricholauxania praeusta myself from "general impression" (colour, missing slenderness, darkened wing endings, size), but I am no expert...
