Hello!

This fly is a mystery for me... Its wing pattern resembles Opomyza germinationis, but it was much too big for an Opomyzid. The size was about 10 mm, larger than some of the female Scatophaga stercorarias present on the same Heracleum. Found on May 30 on forest clearing, Ostwestfalen/Germany. Thanks for any hints!

Hi Juergen.
It is Sciomyzidae, Tetanocera elata/phyllophora.

Many thanks! When I looked at the Sciomyzidae in the gallery yesterday evening (unfortunately after posting this fly), I also found that it very well could be a Sciomyzid.
Best regards,
Jürgen
