 south Norway mountain area 12th Aug 2021

So it has pale hairs under scutellum which points towards Anthomyidae, but anal vein seems kinda short, which points to Muscidae.

Which one is it?

 Some Anthomyiidae may have a shorter anal vein, and a few Muscidae have pale hairs under the scutellum - such as Helina cilipes. I suspect it is the latter.

 According to Fauna Europaea, H. cilipes is recorded from Norway.
