All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Probably Crumomyia fimetaria
If you look at the scutellum, Copromyza has several longish, fine setulae between the basal and apical scutellars, with Crumomyia you may get one small fine pair or with C nitida a tiny hair between the thorax and basal scutellar - using this is easier sometimes than trying to work out how many rows of postocular setae there are.

Definitely easier on photographs of living specimen.
Thanks a lot, Dave - I noted it down Smile
