I thought this was a common Calliphora vomitoria, so never took more than this one photo, but I think it't something different. 26th Sept. 2021 @ 14: 39 In an open patch next to well wooded stream bank on wild raspberry, Rubus idaeus Flensburg, N.Germany @ 54.755896 9.422318 Many Thanks in advance Ray Ray Perry attached the following image:  [186.77Kb] Edited by Ray Perry on 17-11-2021 10:59 |

Moin Ray, it's a male Muscina levida: apex scutellum red, vein M only slightly bowed.
Greetings, Eric |

Moin Eric, Yes, I noticed that slight reddish scutellum which made me wonder what it was. To me the wing veins just looked a bit unusual but now that you point it out I see it's because that M vein is not as bowed as normal. Many Thanks Warm Regards Ray |

The resembling M. prolapsa has a distincly stronger bowed vein.
