Hi,
On October 2nd, a large flock of Ephydrids gathered around a water-filled rut in a wood in southern Brandenburg. I tried hard to take good pictures, but it wasn't easy. Still, I'm hoping for Tony's experience - maybe he can recognize a species. The face appears to be barely hairy, the feet are apparently red, the halters are yellow, and there are a few light spots on the dark wings.
Thanks in advance, Sundew
