I found this fly today in a wooded area along the river Linge at Heukelum, Netherlands. It was appr. 10-12 mm long. I guess it is another
Ernestia puparum, or do I have something else here?

Sorry, I misjudged this one.
The bands of pruinescense are broken in the middle of the tergites.
so it is a female E. rudis.
Which is connected with Pinus, which I don't expect near the Linge (??)

Well, that's even better, because E. rudis is a new species for me ;)
The area where I found it is adjacent to the garden of an old castle, so it's possible that there are some Pinus in this garden.
