Today in my garden (Koudekerke, Walcheren, Netherlands) this male fly (about 10 mm) with orage abdomen en orange on the legs.
Could it be a Musca species?
Could anyone give me the species name?

I can not help you except that this is not a Musca. It looks similar to the common Phaonia subventa, so this might be a closerly related species but I leave this to the experts.
