I keyed this one out to the species pair obscura -- bifasciata. I cannot get a good enough resolution of the male genitalia, but obscura is described to have 3-5 and 5-8 sex comb setae, while here we see 8 on each tarsomere. So my assumption would be D. bifasciata. Found on a mushroom in a garden in Vienna.

All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Difficult to answer. It might be bifasciata, although the picture of genitalia is unclear. I cannot explain what are the robust dark lamellae in the place of cerci.
