Hello!

Small (5-6 mm) fly from September-04 on Solidago at hedge (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Is it a Tachinid? Or perhaps a Muscid??

...from today in our garden. Also not the best (very windy), but I have tried some other angles.

Yes, I wouldn't liek to comment more. Siphona geniculata has median marginals on T1+2 and it is the commonest Siphona here in the UK but that isn't as good as a "proper" identification Wink
