A fly from S Sweden 13/8, about 8 mm body length, bare eyes and very long hairs on arista. Thankful for help with ID.

Hi,
my non-expert opinion:
Neomya cornicina (Muscidae).

Thanks a lot! It seems like a very good choice to me - and we will see if other experts agree.
Best regards

Neomyia for sure, but nothing tells it is not viridescens. A dorsal view is needed, or check yourself :
N. cornicina : 1 prst acr, 3 post dc
N. viridescens : 0 prst acr, 4 post dc (rarely 3)
acr = acrostichal setae
dc = dorso-centrakl setae
post = post-sutural
prst = pre-sutural

Many thanks for good info! It seems to be 1 prst acr and 3 post dc - and cornicina. I hope I have got it correct?
