Hello,

Best regards,
Tina.

Is not even the family possible? Then please, which families do come into question?

Best regards,

Hi Tina, it's family is Muscidae and I'm quite sure it's a male Coenosia testacea.

Greetings, Eric

Hello Tina,

you can put the 'cf.' before the testacea. There is no doubt about the genus Coenosia.
Best regards,
Jürgen
