Flys with the long abdomen i know only from the second part of the year, the foto is from the 20. September an then i can find it till November. in spring i have never seen it. Anyway i think you are rigth it is Cynomya mortuorum. Many thanks! Greetings from Switzerland, Urs

When, a month later, I met "green thorax" I regarded it as another species too, it was why Theo made ID second time. So I understand your doubts better than anybody else Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University
