Hello,

I found this 5-6 mm fly yesterday on vegetation next to a forest path (northwest Germany). Can it bei identified?

No chance? I had hoped, that there aren't too many possibilities at this time of the year...

Probably Rhamphomyia erythrophthalma, though 6 mm should be including wings and then even a rather big specimen.

Thank you, Paul! May even be 5 mm (with wings).
