Hello!

Sized like a house fly, coloured like a Mesembrina meridiana and spiny like a Tachinid... Several of these flies were flying yesterday in the low vegetation at a hedge (Ostwestfalen/Germany). In the gallery I have found Zophomyia temula. Is that correct for this animal, too, or are there other species? Thanks!
