Hi Joerg, it's a female L. caesar or illustris (dark basicosta and 3 ac postsutural - females can only be confirmed under the microscope).

Hi eric, I think C. illustris and S. caesar have only 2 ac post.
In my opinion it should be L. sericata ♀

Merci, Eugene, that was completely wrong! You are right: 3 ac is sericata, but with cream basicosta and I think this fly has a black one: female L. silvarum (and tergite 1/2 look black, too).
