Have a nice Day. One Question please. Is this a Muscidae species, and can it be identified more precisely? The thorax is completely blackish-grey. I would be very grateful for an answer.
Location data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, fruit and herb garden, 7.11.2025, size 8-10mm

Kind regards Karl.
