Dear all,
I found this fly in the forest on a pile of cut wood on 19.02.2022 in the forest of Chäferberg in Zürich (Switzerland).
Using a family key I was able to identify it as a Muscidae sp. (I hope that I am right in that conclusion). Do you know this species? Thank you in advance!
Best, Adrian

Hello Adrian,

I think, this is a Phaonia tuguriorum female. Very common here, too, in the colder season.

Hello Jürgen, thank you very much! I too saw it on several occasions in the last few weeks.
