Scathophagidae. Smile NOT the Scathophaga stercoraria (the most common) by sure! Wink

It is a female. Females of S. stercoraria are *very* variable in colour: yellow, reddish, green, grey...

I'm not 100% sure your fly is stercoraria though.

So what are the other possibilities? Those are fairly definitely dark antennae. Very curious now Smile
