 Today I photographed this appr. 8 mm fly in a marshy area near Leerdam, Netherlands. I think (and hope) that this is my first member of the Sciomyzidae family, and I suspect it belongs to the genus Tetanocera.

Am I correct, and is it possible to tell which species it is from these photographs?

Thanks in advance for any help!

 Thanks very much again, Nikita! I suppose it is not possible to tell which species it is?
