Hello,
this 2 - 3 mm fly was found on May 29 in our backyard in Hannover. We have got Tanaceti (not flowering yet) and Leucanthemum (flowering) in our garden within 1 m distance to the fly.
Would Ozirhincus tanaceti be a possibility?
Many thanks for an answer!
Hans

It is at least close to
Ozirhincus.
O. tanaceti is now a junior synonym of
O. longicollis.

Thanks a lot, John!
As a non-expert I feel happy about the right track.

Should be
Ozirhincus anthemidis based on host plant, color, and small occiput.
