Hello,

what family, genus and/or species is this? (Found last week near Cologne in some bushes. Size about 7-8mm).

Thanks,
Michael

We can see unusualy strong for either Muscidae and Anthomyiid abdominal bristles.
My guess is Leucophora, Anthomyiidae

Anthomyiidae, but perhaps Zaphne rather than Leucophora.

Thank you for your answers,

I will label the picture as "probably Zaphe".
