Hello,
I photographed this fly in Saxony, Germany on Mai 14th 2021.
Is it possible to identify Form this photo?

Thanks in advance
Beate

You already got a species name - what else do you want :D?
In general: try to get better pictures, test macro lenses (I recommend Raynox DCR-150). A small, blurred photo cannot be saved by photoshopping.

Genus is Scathophaga, species is Scathophaga stercoraria, so please correct the title.
(BTW, the title of https://diptera.i...ost_417523 should be "Leucophora".
