Out of my Depth. Heterocheila buccata (?), Orange Half-bridge Fly, on Bramble, Gaasperplaspark, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Despite the nasty weather, I went for a walk along the Gaasperplas to see what there was to see. And in a moment of sunlight I saw this fly on the edge of a Bramble Leaf. I think it's Heterocheila buccata, a so-called Half-bridge Fly. But I'm not sure because it's usually seen near or on seaweed and that sort of thing; there's none around the Gaasperplas as far as I know... So maybe this is another Beastie altogether... But it's colorful and bright on a gloomy day.
Anyone Out There in the know? Do tell me.
