Hello Michael, I think it is Chloromyia formosa (Stratiomyidae).

I'd rather think Microchrysa polita, a female.

Things are never as easy as they seem with flies Angry

Hello,

that's always good, when people find an agreement :-) I would have been happy, if had recognized the family stratiomyidae.

Dank je wel,
Michael

Chloromyia formosa has much bigger antennas (and straight ones).
