Hello!

Is this a Scatophagid? Found yesterday afternoon in grass near forest (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Length about 8-10 mm. Thanks in advance!

Or possibly Anthomyiidae? (Pegomya? But I think those are smaller... Perhaps 8-10 mm was a little bit overestimated, let's say 6-8...)

I had thought this distinctively couloured, not so small fly would be easier... Frown

OK, I'll stick my prothorax out and say Anthomyiidae! Wink
