Hello,

can this fly be identified?

Data: Germany, Lower Saxony, Rodenberg, 90 m, garden, feeding on Euphorbia cyparissias, 12 May 2021.

Best regards,
Tina.

Edit: photos from nr. 2 deleted, as Paul Beuk wished.

Is not even the family possible? Then please, which families do come into question?

Hi Tina, it's family is Muscidae and I'm quite sure it's a male Coenosia testacea.

Hello Tina,

you can put the 'cf.' before the testacea. There is no doubt about the genus Coenosia.
Best regards,
Jürgen
