I saw this fly today at Leerdam, Netherlands. I think it is a muscid, and at first I thought it was something in the Phaonia subventa-region. But comparing it with other photos I find the legs quite long en more extensively orange than in P. subventa, and the scutellum is almost completely dark, except for a small orange tip.

The photos are awful, unfortunately, but I can add that the antennae seemed completely black and there seemed to be no or hardly any black markings on the bright orange body.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me out. Thanks in advance!

That's what my first thought was, Robert. It would be a new species for me, so I hope for confirmation!
Thanks for your opinion on this one.

In this thread you can read more about such a Phaonia fly, this issue remains unsolved

Hi Robert, it looks very similar, yes. The only difference seems to be that mine has less orange on the scutellum. Anyway, reading the thread you mention, I don't think we will get this to species level with those photos of mine. I'll book it as an uncertain Phaonia subventa.
Thanks for your help!
