Ups, it is an Anthomyiidae, have a look at the median vein.

Hello Theo,

thanks for correcting me. I never thought this specimen to be an Anthomyiidae ...

Greetings again,

Michael

This is Acyglossa (costa ending just after vein R4+5).
There are two species known in Europe A. atramentaris and A. pollinosa (more southern species?).
In Germany only A. atramentaria is present.
