I have been asked to inquire this forum if the fly in these links are Anthomyia? It looks similar to Anthomyia but like none i have seen. If im not mistaken this fly has to rows of spots behind the head with 2 in each, where pluvialis and procellaris have a 2 + 3 combination.

The photos where taken by Anni Lene Nielsen:

It seems to be a female of Limnophora tigrina (Muscidae). You are right, Anthomya are three-spotted after suture.

Regards.
