Thanks a lot.
I was tricked... It should at least have more bristles on the abdomen...(I think)

Somehow I think this is not
Pegomya, but
Paradelia, because of the ocre brown coloring on thorax and abdomen.
Maybe
Paradelia setiventris (with yellow legs and enlarged postpedicel ), but I have never seen this species.
Best way is to try to collect a male specimen.

Not to thank me, because I wonder if I am right.
P. setiventris is a Holarctic species mainly and only found in Austria (Alps) by Ackland.
So not present in Norway.
Maybe better only to say....a possible Paradelia

Yes it is somewhat unlikely, but who knows...
Thanks for trying to solve this fly-Puzzle.
