This one was collected near a salty area in the Netherlands. Maybe Thaumatomyia glabra?

Thaumatomyia glabra (Meigen, 1830), female (Chloropidae). Different from all other Palaearctic spp. in this genus the fly is more or less "glabrous", except of the macrochaetae. Larvae feed on root aphids (Pemphigidae), being beneficial in the garden like the other T. spp. Flies do not aggregate in houses like T. notata but a few are always within those gigantic swarms in autumn. |

Thank you for the confirmation! This one was obviously different from T. notata, which is indeed very numerous around my house in autumn.
