Anthomyiidae
Nikita Vikhrev
As Paul insist (and I agree with him) I try don't put two different species in one thread.
So, this thread is part II of http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=2599#post_11179
Tony Irwin's reply was:
"...looks like a Zaphne species (Anthomyiidae), and it agrees quite well with Z.caudata, but so far I only have a couple of species in this genus, so it could be something else."

Keep collecting the specimens - I know the winters can be very long in Moscow, and studying the bristles of muscids and anthomyiids is a great way to pass the time!
Now I'm absolutely sure that long winter isn't a problem for me. I spend two hours with this fly.
Results:
Suwa and Darvas key leaded me to genuses Zaphne and Hydrophoria. To choise between its difficult, but I decided that Hydrophria, but checked both genus.
Zaphne caudata has short plumose arista, my fly has long. If it is Zaphne, I think it may be only Zaphne divisa.
In Hydrophoria fly according with Hydrophoria albiceps.
